Wood knock (1999)
The guest and four friends were climbing a forested mountainside on an old logging road to find a rumored abandoned cabin.

Hunter tells of possible encounters while in the DuPuis Reserve east of Lake Okeechobee
The witness was hunting hogs at dawn in a remote forest area while a companion was stationed about 150 yards away. After noticing paired trails in wet grass and hearing soft splashing from a cypress head, the witness heard a low powerful harrumph-like sound that caused alarm.

The witness and his brother were deer hunting and sitting separated in old-growth forest when they heard loud unusual sounds two or three times.

Three college roommates hiked to the Thompson River to fish and camp overnight.

Hiker finds footprints and hears communicating sounds
The witness traveled to woods near Eagle Lake to camp overnight and listen for unusual sounds. In the afternoon he found elongated foot-like impressions, including one 12-inch print with four toes. After dark from a tree stand he heard repeated wood-on-wood strikes, a tree falling without cracking, footsteps uphill out of sight, and prolonged human-like hooting from multiple directions, followed by hours of silence. He left on foot around 3 a.m. without further incident.
Two see 7- 8 Foot Creature on dead end road
Two companions stopped on an unused dead-end road late at night. While one waited in the truck with the high beams on, a tall brown man-shaped animal appeared in the light. It stood still for about a minute, made a grunt sound, then turned and walked away with an unusual swaggering gait. The pair left the area in reverse, frightened by what they saw.
Report of a field investigation over several days
Three researchers camped in a remote timbered drainage in early August 1998 to study suspected sasquatch activity. Over two afternoons they heard loud primate-like calls and screams around camp, and during two nights they heard conversational vocalizations, rhythmic rock-clicking, and stealthy footfalls that alarmed horses. They also detected red eyeshine and later found a fresh animal bed overlooking the camp. They left early, concluding no conclusive evidence was obtained but the area warranted further investigation.
Rancher, wife startled by vocalizations near Leadville
A couple starting a barbecue fire at their ranch heard repeated deep, low-frequency hollers from the direction of the pasture tree line.

Sequence of loud vocalizations heard by campers
The witness took two young relatives camping overnight near an old logging road and storm-damaged trees. During the evening and night the group repeatedly heard unidentified noises and guttural patterned calls that seemed to get responses from farther away.

No footprints were found on the hard ground.
Another nighttime incident near Hoadley, off Hoadley Road (Wayne Nat. For.)
The witness and a companion camped in Wayne National Forest over a holiday weekend. After mimicking animal sounds in the evening, the witness stayed awake through the night hearing crashes, footsteps, grunts and mimicking speech, and saw eye shine high off the ground. In the morning the pair found a snapped tree, strong odor, widely spaced ground marks and a five-toed partial print, which the witness attributed to a large visitor.
Campers have a night-time encounter in Mark Twain National Forest
About seven years ago a group camping near a secluded lake sat around a campfire late at night. A small bipedal figure about four feet tall emerged from the woods, ran toward the lake in moonlight, circled while waving its arms and vocalizing, then ran back into the woods. The group searched in the morning but found no tracks on the hard ground.
While walking alone in the woods, boy comes face to face with 8 foot tall creature
The witness was walking in the woods behind a former residence in the early afternoon when hearing a noise and seeing a large dark creature with ape-like and human-like facial features.

Possible approaches to a boat ramp on Kootenay Lake
The witness reports sleeping aboard a boat moored in a marina slip and repeatedly hearing a heavy visitor come down the metal access ramp late at night and walk across the floating docks, displacing the dock enough to rock the boat. The steps sound widely spaced and cover the ramp and dock sections unusually quickly. The pattern recurred at least once each summer holiday over several years, with a bucket of fish offal sometimes found emptied afterward and whoop-like vocalizations also heard.
Strange bellowing noises heard
Over several weeks the witness was repeatedly awakened at night by loud, drawn-out bellowing sounds that seemed to move and change in volume. A friend, the friend's spouse, and a relative also heard the sounds, and overturned garbage cans were found in the mornings. The sounds were first thought to be cows, deer, or a bear, but the witness later felt they resembled alleged Bigfoot recordings from Pennsylvania.

Footsteps near Nowata, Oklahoma (1998)
The two hunters arrived late and set up camp and a tree stand in darkness in a hollow bottom. One hunter returned alone to retrieve a phone and heard pacing footsteps, a very loud voice repeating a name, and a laugh, then saw a huge dark shape in tall weeds and fired twice before fleeing. Both hunters were then circled for hours by fast-moving unseen things that stayed out of flashlight range, threw out a poisoned hot dog that was quickly taken by something running on two legs that coughed like a person, and found the heavy welded stand ripped from the tree in the morning.
Vocalization in Oklahoma (1998)
The witness went back alone down the hollow to recover a phone and was paced by something moving on two legs. A very loud voice spoke the other hunter's name twice and then laughed in a way that vibrated the witness's clothing. The witness climbed the tree, saw a huge wide black mass moving in tall weeds that circled to ambush him, warned it to leave, then fired twice before it crashed away north while he fled south to camp.
Vocalization in Oregon (1998)
Five years after his 1993 sighting, the guest returned for an eight-day expedition and was alone on a hillside calibrating seismic sensors above base camp. A hail cell forced him into nearby old-growth trees, where after urinating he heard an extremely loud roar ending in a guttural bark from about 100 feet away in dense brush. He remained frozen for two minutes, believing the vocalization was a warning to leave.
