Wood knock in Virginia (2017)

While taking her older dog out overnight, the guest repeatedly heard a single loud knock like a bat hitting a tree as soon as she stepped onto the porch. On one outing she then heard a prolonged scream from the woods across the street that rose from low to a high-pitched shriek, frightening her enough to flee inside. When she later listened from her balcony the forest had gone completely silent.

Woman home alone north of Greenville claims unusual nightly visitor

On the night of April 18, 2020 the witness was at home when a dog began barking persistently and a loud guttural growl was heard at the back door, also noticed by a cat. After waking her husband, who saw nothing from the back door, the witness called the dog from the front door and saw it react toward the back of the property. Looking from a guest-room window, she then watched a huge dark figure moving quickly across the neighbor's pasture to the northwest.

Sasquatch sighting near Cumberland County (2017)

A doctor with a zoology degree drove late at night on a remote Cumberland County highway and saw deer, then large iridescent green eyes about eight feet up by a guardrail. Passing by, he glimpsed a Bigfoot side profile with heavy brow walking in the ditch, then a third set of eyes. The images replayed in his mind afterward.

Cabin owners have a strange night near Warm Lake

The witness and family were sleeping in a cabin when an extremely foul odor came in through an open window, prompting the witness to close the window and turn off a fan. The son later reported waking several times hearing something outside and feeling watched, and on the last waking seeing the outline of a head outside a high living-room window. A morning search found no tracks besides their own, no vocalizations were heard, and the indoor dog remained quiet.

Tree break in New York (2017)

The witness and a companion spent three days fishing and camping at a remote lake. On calm nights trees fell near camp, and each dawn they heard rhythmic wood-on-wood pounding for nearly an hour. They saw a dark partial figure behind a lakeshore pine, heard a long piercing scream with fast hillside movement, heard distant talk-like sounds and short screams, and found a single large human-like footprint in mud on the way out. They also saw an orange light over the lake that split into smaller lights, followed later by jets overhead.

While driving in a national forest area at night, the guest and his friend saw a pale yellow-brown flickering light about 100 feet in the air.

Wood knock near Tenino, Washington (2017)

The witness brought youth cadets to a large private property near Tenino for an overnight field training camp. After ignoring loud knocks on the first night, the group was awakened around 1 a.m. on the second night by a prolonged, multi-toned yell that felt physically powerful, followed by knocks from the opposite tree line and rocks thrown into camp. Armed staff held a perimeter until the woods fell silent and the air felt lighter, then broke camp at sunrise and left without ever seeing the source.
