Bigfoot howls heard west of Hideaway Lake, 9 miles south of Sabine River

The witness reports hearing prolonged howls from the forested area behind the home during the early morning hours, believing there were two sources at different distances. When the witness shone a flashlight toward the tree line the nearer howling stopped while the farther howling continued, followed by two metallic taps on a nearby wire fence line. Two neighbors later said they also heard the sounds. No visual observation is reported.

Rock throwing near Neosho, Missouri (2025)

Three young men walked a trail at night in a conservation area to look for a pond. Rocks were thrown toward two of them from the woods, strange pacing, a low growl, and rhythmic booming sounds followed them. They found fresh green trees snapped and laid across the trail blocking the path, then were hurried out by more rock throws and close movement before the woods went quiet and normal night sounds returned near the car.

Possible sasquatch observed by cabin renter at 100 yards outside Gatlingburg

The witness and two companions were relaxing in an outdoor hot tub at a vacation cabin near Gatlinburg when the woods went silent and tree movement was heard. The witness noticed a motionless black shape resembling a gorilla's head and shoulders in sunlit brush about 100 yards away and watched it for several minutes. After briefly looking away at the cabin wall, he found the shape gone, and shortly after heard trees cracking. He watched for about ten more minutes without seeing anything further.

LAST NIGHT (10/11/24): Possible sighting of a sasquatch just outside Avery CA (Stanislaus NF)

The witness was outside a cabin at night with a high-power spotlight while taking a dog out to relieve itself. After hearing a noise from the woods behind the property, the witness shone the light on a tall light-brown upright figure fleeing away. The figure was glimpsed briefly at close range and then again at greater distance as dogs in that direction barked, and the witness estimated it at over eight feet tall and distinct from deer or bears.

Wood knock in British Columbia (2023)

During a summer expedition the witness and two companions followed responsive knocking sounds through forest toward a cut line. They exchanged mouth pops, whistles and rock strikes and repeatedly received two and sometimes three knocks back, including pops that seemed to come from the top of a large isolated tree. After sitting and listening for 30 to 45 minutes they found a large track and smaller juvenile-like tracks in moss nearby before leaving as the sounds stopped.

Cryptid sighting in Arkansas (2022)

After moving back to Arkansas, the witness went for a solo afternoon hike on a waterfall trail in the Ozarks. The forest suddenly went completely silent and still, then he heard something pacing him in the thick woods. Looking back he filmed a pitch-black silhouette with a deer-like head and horn-like projections that was gone on his return, where vegetation was smashed flat. While bent over filming unusually large deer-like scat near the trail end, a loud close twig snap with nothing visible triggered intense fear, and he hurried to his truck and avoided the woods for about a year.

While lying silent, the witness heard very loud heavy footsteps stopping beside the bedroom window followed by deep huffing and grunting with massive air intake. The presence moved behind the trailer and shook a protective window panel as if trying to open it. At daylight the witness fled with cat and rifle without looking up, while the landlord revved a motorcycle and checked behind the trailer.

Unidentified sound in Utah (2022)

During a dark hard rain the witness heard a loud hammer-like knocking from the sitting rock behind the trailer that accelerated into rapid rock-on-rock impacts continuing about 45 minutes. The witness concluded no human could sustain that speed and duration. A strange metallic gate-like sound and distant talking and whistles had also become a recurring precursor.
