Dogman sighting in Massachusetts

The witness went alone with a dog on snowshoes in winter to find where the creature lived. In a frozen bog he found a knoll with a dark hole and saw the thing halfway out on all fours. He threatened it, backed out without turning his back, then hiked toward the pond in a whiteout. He saw a distant black shadow seeming to follow, shouted a warning, and continued to town.

Dogman sighting in Massachusetts

The witness and a classmate were squirrel hunting from a high ledge overlooking a bog. They spotted a dark animal below that the witness thought was a small bear but looked odd. The classmate viewed it through the rifle scope, said it looked demonic and unnatural, and fled, leaving the rifle behind. The witness chased after him without getting a better look.

Tree break in Massachusetts

As a child the witness was scouting deer sign with his father when the family dog ran ahead and began yipping. They heard branches breaking and the dog go silent, and the father drew his sidearm and backed out with the child. The next day they returned with another officer and found the dead dog under cover near the father's tree stand, and the father said a huge Sasquatch-like beast was responsible.

Unidentified sound in Massachusetts

While on a large rural wooded farm, the guest and the farm owner heard what sounded like an off-trail dirt bike uphill on old roads. They hiked up to investigate and found no bike tracks in moist ground and impassable fallen timber. The companion reported hearing conversational voices that the guest could not hear, and they left the area.

Sasquatch sighting in Massachusetts

The witness, an HVAC apprentice, waited alone in the back of a work van at a rural house in western Massachusetts while his coworker stepped away and a boiler timer ran. He heard faint breathing and a light tap on the van, then saw a very tall dark figure hunched to peer through a 3-4 inch gap in the rear door and locked eyes with it for several seconds. The eye appeared pitch black then briefly glowed white-gray, apparently reflecting the coworker's headlamp, before a loud boiler boom startled the figure. It fled in three loud steps across gravel, grass and leaves that both men heard, left a sour wet-towel odor, and the elderly homeowner responded that local animals are friendly.
