Sasquatch sighting

The witness woke at night to a noise and saw a tall shadow pass his bedroom window. He went to the back porch and watched a very large broad-shouldered figure step over a chain-link fence into the woods. He woke his father, who dismissed it, and he concluded it was a Bigfoot.

Howl in Maine

Years before the 2015 sighting, the witness and his brother stood outside their farmhouse at night listening to something moving through the woods between houses. They heard a loud howl they did not recognize as coyote, fox, or bobcat. They tracked the movement by breaking branches across a road to a power line trail, then heard a second much fainter howl from far away.

Eyeshine near Midland County

Friends of the witness were fishing under a bridge by a nature sanctuary in Midland County and, while leaving for their cars in the dark, one reported seeing red eyes about eight feet up in the trees that appeared to swirl. The other friend suggested a bear. The witness was told about it about a month before the show.

At age sixteen while hunting with his uncle near Holton Lake, the witness walked alone toward his stand and heard heavy footsteps pacing him from a field to his right.

Dogman sighting in West Virginia

The witness drove her brother's car to a nearby Sheetz around midnight and noticed a large dark animal near the drive-through area. As she parked the animal rose onto its hind legs, stared at her with white reflective eyes, then ran bipedally into nearby woods at remarkable speed. She remained frozen in the car in fear for several minutes before leaving, and later revisited the spot in daylight with her husband and found no trace.

Sasquatch sighting near Bartell, California

The witness was driving alone on a highway in the morning and noticed what looked like a backpacker with hiking poles on the shoulder. The figure crossed the road in a few long strides with odd bobbing motion, and sunlight revealed a wide-shouldered, dark-coated biped with no pack. The witness drove to the crossing point but could no longer see it in the thinned forest.

The guest's grandfather and his brother went squirrel hunting and split up in a small hunting area. The brother slipped over a fallen log and came face to face about a foot away from a huge hairy creature that showed its teeth and had hot, foul breath. He fired a sidearm at point-blank range then fled screaming to the grandfather, and both left in the truck. The brother reportedly never hunted or entered the woods again.

Sasquatch sighting near Clay County

The guest's grandfather was working cutting railroad ties in West Virginia early one morning when brush began shaking violently. A very tall, hairy creature emerged and screamed at the crew, towering over the grandfather. The crew fled to get a supervisor and on returning found only very large footprints, described as twice the grandfather's foot length. The experience reportedly disturbed the grandfather enough that he moved his family to Ohio.
