Vocalization in New York (2019)

A week later the witness and a companion walked past the same spot in the evening. The witness tried a deer croaker call for the first time and heard a very deep response from the woods. The sound felt unusually powerful and reminded him of the earlier exhale. He has considered it might have been a deer or a mimic.

Sasquatch sighting in New York (2019)

The witness and a companion were bow hunting before dawn on a remote property. They watched a pair of self-illuminated green eyes that tracked their head movements for over an hour. At twilight the eyes closed and something moved away quietly before giving a loud exhaling sound. Later they estimated the eye height at eight to nine feet and found no tracks.

Vocalization in New York (2016)

The witness and his brother were coyote hunting at night from a blind with an electronic call. They heard owl-like hooting from nearby that shifted into loud monkey-like screaming, followed by loud bipedal running directly behind the blind. They could not see anything with night vision and the sounds stopped abruptly, after which they left for the truck.

Whoop near Wellsville, New York (2014)

While the first witness was upslope, the other two hunters several hundred yards away along the same ravine heard whoops, loud rapid tree knocks, owls that turned into chicken and pig sounds, rock clacking replies, and large limbs popping in mature pines. They joked about the sounds at the time as bored owls and dismissed them. They later interpreted them as intelligent mimicry and communication coming up out of the ravine.

Female hiker describes rocks being thrown at her and female companion near Sabbath Day Point

Two companions hiking back from a mountain trail claim rocks were thrown toward them from the woods over an extended period, starting with misses above and behind them and later coming close enough to duck. They also report hearing an unidentified whining sound, possible footsteps, knock-like sounds, and a tree being shaken, without ever seeing the source. Near the area they noticed a green limb broken high and left hanging.

Possible vocalizations heard near Sabbath Day Point

The witness was hiking alone near a small pond in the afternoon and stopped for lunch when a loud, sing-song-like vocalization was heard from about 300 yards away.

Possible vocalizations heard by resident near Bowman Lakes

The witness and a relative were camping on a rural forested property and getting ready for bed when they heard a long harsh yowl close to the campsite and heard something moving. When the witness shone a flashlight toward the sound, it stopped and seemed to move away without being seen. No physical evidence was found, and the sound was provisionally dismissed as a coyote although the witness doubts that explanation.

Howls heard on Buck Mountain, 10 miles east of Whitehall

A couple left the trail to take photos by a creek. They heard loud deep roaring, scream-like and growl-like vocalizations approaching from across the creek, along with large branches breaking, and believed something was circling them. After the sounds stopped they felt watched, fled down the trail, and heard a large animal tracking them along the creek.

The witness and his wife left the trail by a creek to take photos.

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.

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. In the morning the companions briefly saw something near bushes that froze then moved into shadow, and the group stopped after hearing a rock crash nearby. No footprints were found on the hard ground.

Tree break near Albany County (1994)

The witness's car sputtered to a stop on a bridge and the witness set out on foot toward home. From a dark forested slope the witness watched a tall tree thrash, then heard a massive thud, three loud knocks, and rapid footsteps sprinting uphill toward the road. An unseen presence stopped feet away breathing sharply, then repeatedly ran ahead and waited, forcing the witness to pass it several times over an eighth to a quarter mile. Near dawn where cover ended the presence vanished without ever being seen.

Unseen large animal stalks jogger at night along trail near Elmira

Late in February 1989 the witness was jogging on a wooded trail at night when footsteps paralleled him about 20 feet inside the treeline. The steps quickened when he ran, continued briefly after he stopped, and suggested a biped taking one stride to his two to three. He ran to a clearing by a golf course, heard heavy breathing and a throaty rumble and a branch snap without seeing a form, then fled to a town street.

September 1975 Findley Lake, Chautauqua County, New York Class B #6384

Occasional incidents from 1970's up to recent years, near Findley Lake

Around 1975 the witness was at a hunting camp late at night with two relatives when they heard a loud strange call moving through the woods. They moved to a nearby field to try to intercept the source as it approached to about 100 yards. The calling then stopped and nothing was seen or crossed the road, so they waited without further result.
