Experienced hunters find a possible track-line in the snow on Blue Mountain and share a photo

The witness and a companion were on a winter afternoon drive when the companion spotted tracks in a snow-covered field. They found a single set of large bare-foot-like prints with distinct heel and toes leading toward trees, far larger than the companion's foot with a long stride. A relative brought back to the site was also puzzled, and one print was photographed alongside a boot for scale.

Woman recalls childhood experience of a terrifying night-time encounter while camping near Kennecott Copper mine

A family group of six was inside a large tent at night during a thunderstorm when they smelled an overpowering odor and heard loud screaming approach. A large hairy figure stood over the tent, visible in lightning flashes, screaming for several minutes while the occupants huddled in fear. An adult companion left the tent, apparently confronted the creature amid scuffling and growling, then returned pale and blocked the zipper until dawn when the group left.

Vocalization in Utah (1970)

The witness describes repeated nighttime experiences from childhood into late teens where he would fall asleep and wake up outside in a field without knowing how he got there. He recalls bruises, a sensation of being held, seeing his own body from above, a bright light in his face, feeling restrained, and hearing voices urging him to come outside. The episodes stopped after he left for college, with tapping on windows and scratching also reported.

Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Man recalls possible encounter at a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City

In August 1964 two teenagers were walking back to a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon after dark when they heard footsteps matching their movements and a low unearthly growl. They ran through a gully to the cabin and locked themselves inside. They then heard the nearby outhouse door open and slam, saw nothing when they turned on an outside light, later heard the door fling open with crashing in brush, and spent the night upstairs.

Daylight sighting off Highway 89 in the Wasatch Mountains

During a family picnic in the Wasatch Mountains, a five-year-old playing hide-and-seek ran around a mound and encountered a large hair-covered figure about 30 feet away beside a tree. The two watched each other briefly before the child broke the stare and ran screaming back to the picnic area. Adults suggested a deer or bobcat and found nothing on re-check, but the child saw the figure again in the same spot while the group was leaving.

Blood or tissue in Utah

While hiking with a friend over a high pass at night, the witness found a large pool of blood on the trail and a short distance off-trail a freshly dead antlered deer with no visible bullet or arrow wounds. Nearby the witness noticed thin trees woven into a teepee-like structure with trampled grass at its base. The witness felt watched while leaving the area and later wondered if the structure marked the kill location.

Footsteps in Utah

The witness's male coworker said he was doing water testing and sleeping in a van with a trailer at a remote reservoir with a work partner. He awoke to fast approaching footsteps, then felt the van jerk up as something jumped on the trailer tongue and saw a shadowy face with dread-like hair look into the window. Both men immediately drove out through the locked gate and saw no one else.

Tracks in Utah

While following a large bear track with an owner's hounds wearing GPS collars, the dogs bayed at the canyon bottom then went completely silent and could not be located. Months later the owner returned from another direction, recovered collars and smashed bones shoved under a large rock, suggesting the dogs were killed together.

Property disturbance in Utah

The crew nailed two beavers high in a tree and secured a bait barrel to draw bears. The next day the barrel had been torn off and thrown downhill and only a beaver tail remained, with no bear claw marks found. After resetting, no bears returned and the crew abandoned the spot after similar barrel destruction elsewhere.

Sasquatch sighting in Utah

A hunting guide walking quickly ahead of his hunter to retrieve a truck encountered a tall figure standing ahead on the trail. When spoken to, it turned, backed into trees, and watched him as he gave it a wide berth. He radioed the others to keep moving, later told the witness in camp, and downplayed it to the hunter as a bear.

Dogman sighting in Utah

The witness says that on multiple evenings while hunting or heading home with dogs, he saw figures with glowing red eyes and dog-like ears watching from brush across the river. His dogs would growl and confront the figures, and gunfire would provoke screaming and fights. On several occasions a dog chased and never returned.
