Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (2009)

While scouting for bear season in the same Minnesota swamp area, the witness was pushed from behind into the swamp. Turning, he saw a large but thin, mangy-looking human-like creature moving away 40 to 50 yards distant. As he left, it paralleled him for about a quarter mile, repeatedly stepping toward him then backing away with trembling shoulders and hands, curling its lip and displaying. A week later he returned, found a 14 3/4-inch track showing it had circled him, felt watched, and heard a loud double whistle near the old driveway.

With no other campers present, the couple became spooked, packed up, and left.

Paranormal encounter near Chicago, Illinois (2009)

The witness was asked to check a woman's claim of a demon in her attic bedroom.

Returning about ten days later, the house was gone and replaced by a gravel lot, and a neighbor said it had been torn down four years earlier.

He left the area quickly without pursuing tracks and reported no further incident.

Man watches a bigfoot in his headlights near Flaming Gorge

The witness was driving at night on a mountain pass when headlights caught eye reflections high off the ground. The witness stopped, backed up to illuminate an animal standing near the road, initially thinking it was a bear but concluding it was not based on its hair and walk. The animal stayed calm and walked slowly into the trees, covering ground quickly despite the truck noise. The witness left without approaching and later searches for tracks were unsuccessful.

15 November 2008 Fort A.P. Hill VA, Caroline County, Virginia Class B #34337

Large man-like figure seen in the trees by a Marine training at Fort A. P. Hill

Three service members were on overnight guard duty at a wooded bivouac during a 2008 training exercise. The main witness looked up from a seated position and saw a large heavily built human-like figure silhouetted in the trees above about 30 feet away, holding trees with long outstretched arms. He blinked to check his vision, watched it move silently between trees, then it vanished. In the morning the two companions posted apart independently said they had seen something in the trees, and the three concluded they had seen the same figure circling their position.
