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.

Grandson relates grandparents' accounts in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest

The grandfather was walking the perimeter of a family property and stopped by a creek where he encountered an intensely foul odor described as rotten meat and body odor. He found droppings in the middle of a large fallen tree bridging the creek where he doubted elk could have left them, and later noted apples and chokecherries were missing from trees that wildlife normally does not fully strip. The grandfather's dogs were unusually apprehensive, and the submitter suggested the odor came from a bigfoot.

Sasquatch sighting in Utah (2007)

After moving to central Utah, the witness was riding four-wheelers down along a creek at sunset. Coming around a corner he saw a sun-lit hairy arm outstretched, then shoulder, stomach and legs of a human-like form partly in shadow by a tree watching him pass. He braked, reversed, but it was gone, with no sound of running off. He judged it a juvenile about his own height and ruled out bear from hunting experience.

Possible vocalizations heard near East Canyon Reservoir

The witness reports hearing very loud recurring screams and hoot-like sounds coming from canyons near a relative's home in northern Utah over several years, first paying attention to them while camping overnight with a young relative. The sounds are described as fierce, deep, growling and primate-like with a low-frequency component, with calls lasting up to about 15 seconds in series of five or six, sometimes followed by whoops, heard at dusk or night from a mile or so away. Other family members are reported to have heard the same vocalizations over about ten years. The witness, described as a hunter familiar with native animal sounds, found alleged bigfoot recordings similar but not exactly the same.

She reported no odor or other sounds besides the dog, and a morning search found no tracks.

They left quickly, and the husband returned later that evening and found disturbed leaves and torn ground where it had gone.

After the pair backed away, it gave a low guttural growl ending with teeth clicking, frightening them enough to leave.

Possible vocalization heard near Hoop Lake

The witness and three family members stopped their ATVs on a mountain shoulder overlooking a meadow and forest.

Driver and passengers have late night sighting on mountain road in Bountiful Canyon

After the headlight brights were turned on, the figure stood upright on two legs, crossed the road in front of the truck, and ran up a steep timbered hillside until it disappeared. The witnesses described it as much larger than a human with dark hair hanging from its arms and legs and noted how fast it crossed and left sight.

Possible bigfoot scream heard by hikers in Rock Canyon, in the Wasatch Mountains

Four companions on a nighttime hike in a canyon stopped when they heard an extremely loud distant sound lasting 15-20 seconds that echoed through the mountains. The sound began like a distant motorcycle and shifted into a mechanical scream, frightening the group into running down to the valley bottom. They could not identify the source, and the reporter later felt an online Bigfoot scream recording was the closest match.
