Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2019)

The same group returned a week later with daylight fading. They saw a basketball-sized bluish-white orb moving through trees, then on a moonlit road walk one witness saw a gray upright figure dart across the road in one or two steps. Back at the vehicle they found another greasy handprint, played vocalizations that were mimicked from very close behind them, and later heard faint distant whoops.

Campers hear loud deep howls near Lake Texoma

Four campers sitting around a campfire at night heard two deep howls from the south, then a higher-pitched howl from the northwest, followed about 20 minutes later by a close whoop. Through the night they also heard brush breaking, grunts around 1 a.m., and noticed a slight odor. A morning search found nothing solid, though exploration toward the first vocalizations reportedly revealed a freshly snapped elevated branch.

Intimidation of deer hunter one mile from "Arkansas Sphinx" rock formation

The witness arrived before daylight to deer hunt from a ground blind near a road above a steep slope. From inside the blind he heard coyotes, then hollering, rock-banging or wood-knock sounds, and whoops as something ran up the slope, crossed the road, and stopped in thick brush behind him. He then heard loud raspy breathing and growling and smelled a strong obnoxious odor for about five minutes before the animal ran away along the treeline and the woods went quiet.

Husband and wife hear vocals while making camp at dark, near Priest Lake

A couple and their dog set up camp for the night in a closed campground area after kayaking. After dark they heard loud whoo-like calls from the woods to the north, with a second much louder call from close range and a fainter answering call from a distance. They judged the calls too loud to be an owl and were frightened, retrieving a pistol, but heard no vehicles, lights, footsteps, or odor. Nothing further was heard overnight and nothing appeared disturbed in the morning.

Group of fisherman with a possible sighting of whitish/grey creature outside Neosho Falls
