Sasquatch sighting in New York (2016)

While walking back out, the pair heard a loud exhaled huff about 30 yards away. The witness saw a tall dark hairy man-like figure peering through the bamboo and his brother viewed it with binoculars. After the witness stepped forward, the creature crashed away loudly through the woods and they hurried back to the truck.

Growl in New York (2016)

The next morning the pair walked back in daylight to retrieve their blind and gear. Near a bamboo thicket at the top of the trail they heard an extremely loud, deep guttural growl that seemed very close. They froze, then continued past the area to collect their equipment.

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.

Unidentified sound near Wales, New York (2015)

The witness was geocaching with three children in a rural wooded park on a sunny afternoon. They heard a very loud crashing sound about 25 to 30 feet away and briefly saw a jet-black elongated shape. They found no branch, impact mark, tracks, or other evidence on the soft ground, and the children were badly frightened.

Married couple has possible daytime sighting while boating on Lake George

On a sunny mid-afternoon in June 2015, the witness and a companion were motoring slowly in a boat along the eastern shore of Lake George. They noticed movement near the shoreline and saw a very large dark upright object that briefly raised an arm and moved behind conifer trees. The observation was very brief and lacked detail, but both were convinced it was not a black bear.

Rock throwing in New York (2014)

Two visitors with a thermal camera joined the investigator and the homeowner after dark near the feeding fence. The group was pelted with rocks, heard branches snapping and saw large trees broken, saw eyeshine, and detected about five heat signatures. Two men reported being hit by something like infrasound, shaking and nauseous. The investigator accidentally shut the camera off when handed it.

Wood knock near Wellsville, New York (2014)

After dark with snow on the ground, while driving out for dinner, the witness stopped in the woods, struck a tree with a sledgehammer to make a low thump, and moments later got a reply knock from down the ravine. He joked it must be a redneck waiting to reply.

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.

Sasquatch sighting near Wellsville, New York (2014)

While hunting turkey alone along a driveway, the witness stalked what looked like a turkey to a ravine shelf, felt watched, then turned and saw a tall reddish-brown upright blur retreat very close behind him. He could not explain it as deer or bird because it made no noise. He moved to the open driveway and then heard extremely loud rapid tree knocks.

Wood knock near Erie County (2014)

The witness took children into woods behind a relative's house and heard distinct wood knocks alternating between two positions about every few minutes for an hour. After the witness made a whoop sound, knocks continued, then a nearby dog barked aggressively and a third position across the road knocked. Interpreting the pattern as an L-shaped ambush, the witness gathered the children back to the house.

Footsteps in New York (2014)

The day after Thanksgiving in 2014 the witness walked with family and a friend to and from a quarry in the dark. Footsteps on one side paced them, stopping when they stopped and starting when they started, maintaining distance over about a quarter to half mile. They shone flashlights behind them and saw nothing, and the follower did not pass a certain point on the return.

Scream near Saranac Lake, New York (2014)

About a year later the guest was awake late at night in a bedroom with a partly open window. A loud two-toned scream from near the driveway shook the room and was answered from farther away, terrifying the guest who fled to get a parent. The parent attributed the sound to foxes, but the guest later felt the sound matched a vocalization heard on the podcast.

Sasquatch sighting in New York (2013)

The guest, then in early teens, was camping in a tent with a teenage friend and the friend's father at a lake-side campground in the Adirondacks. Late at night the woods went silent and heavy bipedal footsteps approached the tent, then a very large hand pushed the tent wall inward. After the friend's father mumbled in his sleep the hand withdrew, and the visitor rummaged through a cooler on the picnic table before walking into the lake and swimming away. In the morning the cooler had been moved, items were strewn, and an oily feel and stale smell were noticed.

Resident observes a sasquatch near homes at 2-3am on the outskirts of Bath

Late at night in mid-November 2012, the witness stepped outside a basement apartment to smoke. About 140 yards to the east, the witness watched a tall cinnamon-brown figure pace back and forth for about three to four minutes near a house light before it disappeared. The figure moved smoothly with no head bob and had long shaggy head hair, with lower legs hidden by a rise in ground. After losing sight of it, the witness went inside to wake the spouse.

UFO sighting in New York (2011)

On a different pond several dozen miles away, the witness and companion saw a stationary string of lights over the water. One light grew into another and then another, developing tendrils and a hand-like shape while undulating. The witness thought this occurred around 2011 or 2012.
