Howl in Virginia
A camping party arrived late at a ridgetop site and heard strange howling around 2 to 3 a.m. the first night. The next evening after dinner the dog fixated on brush by a steep drop, where one camper saw paired eyes at close range that avoided a flashlight, followed by branch breaks and a tall tree-like silhouette that walked from one side of camp to the road and later showed yellow eyeshine. The group packed hurriedly, secured the dog and lights, and drove home the same night feeling watched but not directly threatened.

Tracks in Virginia
While retrieving her puppy in daylight, the guest carried him back through the lower side yard and found many footprints in mud of four distinct sizes, some two inches deep, showing toe ridges.

Growl in Virginia
After getting a new puppy that alerted in panic, the guest followed it to the side deck and leaned over the edge.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia
With her husband home, the guest heard a loud owl overhead answered from across the driveway by a second owl-like call that cracked.

The next morning she found deadfall trees newly lined along the driveway and tested that stepping over the line triggered the garage motion light, concluding the line marked the light's boundary.
Growl in Virginia
The day after hearing the scream, the guest asked neighbors whose woods bordered the sound.

The neighbor also said she often felt watched when walking by those woods.

She initially suspected human harassment but never saw anyone despite immediate searches with a flashlight.
Rock throwing in Virginia

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia
While sitting at the kitchen table at night, the witness noticed two white eye reflections in a high window and gradually made out a dark face staring in at a young female cousin.

When its eyes shifted to the witness and its head slowly turned, the witness fled and others heard rustling up the mountainside behind the house.
Property disturbance in Virginia

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia
The guest went fishing at a beaver pond and was walking home through woods at sunset.

Growl in Virginia
The family dog was terrified the first night by a deep growl and later refused to go behind the house. With his cousin near the pond the witness felt dread and found scattered deer ribs, legs, skull and later skin with other bones gone.

Property disturbance in Virginia
Around the second home the witness found toy trucks moved from a lidded sandbox to the steps two mornings, footprints behind the barn, broken trees, newly piled sticks by the pond and a small teepee structure.
