Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee (2010)

The witness stayed overnight at a friend's rural trailer after reports of something frightening dogs and taking raw meat.

Sasquatch sighting near Lander, Wyoming (2010)

While staying about a week to help move his elderly grandmother, the 11-year-old guest rode a mountain bike daily on wide trails toward the national forest and often felt watched. One day the woods went quiet and he heard childlike playing shift to indistinct murmuring, then heavy bipedal footsteps approaching through brush. A roughly nine-foot, black-haired, barrel-chested male stepped onto the trail about 30 yards away, made rapid mouth-popping clicks answered from the brush, then growled and changed expression when the witness turned his bike. A second taller individual stood up in the brush showing chest and head, the witness rode about two and a half miles home, and family members dismissed the report as a bear.

Close daylight sighting by a fisherman near White Sulphur Springs

The witness was fishing alone from a creek bank when he noticed a persistent decay-like odor. He then saw a reddish-brown female-appearing figure squatting across the creek near a beaver dam, apparently washing something in the water.

Loud, early morning vocalizations heard by duck hunters near Lake Monroe

Three hunters were sitting on a peninsula at dawn when they heard an extremely loud roar-moan from across a bay that lasted several seconds and ended in a low growl.

They later decided the sound matched Bigfoot recordings found online.

Night time foot race with an unseen animal near Woodinville

Late at night the witness walked home alone along a familiar wooded trail and heard something moving parallel in the brush, breathing heavily.

At the house the witness's dog confronted the unseen pursuer, which halted very close before withdrawing into the brush.

Kayakers describe rock throwing near island on Keystone Lake

After two people kayaked back to the cars and two returned, the two in kayaks had two very large rocks land in the water near them as they approached shore in darkness. One had earlier seen green eyeshine near the campsite on the first return. Finding no other people on the island, they packed up and left during the night.
