Footsteps in Kentucky (2025)

The witness was turkey hunting in a different area and saw hens on a peaceful evening. While walking out on a county road bordered by fields and honeysuckle he heard bushes shake, a grunt and loud stopping footsteps. He briefly saw a figure moving fast tree to tree off the road, ran to his truck after crossing water where the sounds stopped, and had no further incidents.

Wood knock in Kentucky (2024)

The witness hiked into public land to bowhunt deer from a climber stand. After the woods went silent he heard two wood knocks, then saw a black bipedal figure through timber that vanished. Moments later a very large jet-black wolf-like animal appeared nearby staring at him, stalked toward a cedar thicket and disappeared. While hiking out he heard a deep scream-howl, panicked and ran to his truck and avoided the woods for the rest of deer season.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky (2022)

In November 2022 the witness took a young child deer hunting and sat against a tree on a ridgeline at dawn.

The witness left with the child and later found large marks where the creature had climbed.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky (2021)

The two hikers set up a thermal camera on a tripod in a field to watch for deer and bear at night. They observed a large upright creature crossing a road on thermal, approaching to about 90 feet, then fleeing into a thicket where facial details were seen. Later they heard a howl, whoops from multiple directions and grunting near the truck, then felt an impact while driving out that left a dent from a thrown rock.

The teenage son was watching police lights from a car in the driveway late at night and turned to see a human-like shape peeking over a hedge by a fence. He brought his mother out with a weak flashlight and both saw the shape looking at them in moonlight. The next day they found all grass smashed where it stood and a path leading up into the woods with no trail toward the house or road.

Wood knock in Kentucky (2015)

The guest was crawling on hands and knees up an icy mountain in deep snow when he heard a loud wood-on-wood knock behind him. He turned with binoculars and watched a dark bipedal figure walk easily down a distant mountainside. He estimated it was about eight feet tall because the snow only reached mid-calf.

The witness then heard a large splash in the creek followed by paired guttural growls that stopped after the witness whooped, and later described seeing a large hairy figure peeking from behind a tree across the creek.

Humanoid figure spotted at night near Octagon Hall during paranormal investigation

During a nighttime paranormal investigation, two people walked to a tree clump in open fields after hearing about a sighting the night before. After making whoop and howl sounds and hearing possible distant replies, they watched a tall dark human-like silhouette peer from behind a tree 30-40 yards away and sway side to side for several minutes. When they tried to approach, the figure disappeared, and checking the tree revealed nothing to explain what they had seen.

BFRO Investigator videotapes encounter in Daniel Boone National Forest

An investigator hiked with two companions to the top of a rocky ridge at night to look into recurring activity. While the companions scanned with night vision and a camcorder, the investigator illuminated a sasquatch-like figure standing close below the rocks with a headlamp and watched it withdraw and walk away. The companions recorded eyeshine in the opposite direction, suggesting a second animal, and the group heard footsteps following them as they descended. They later reviewed the tape and confirmed eyeshine had been recorded.

In July 2006 around 4:30 a.m., the witness was riding a motorcycle to work when they noticed a large hairy creature squatting beside the road near a sawmill.

The witness described the animal as unlike any known animal and human-like in appearance.
