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.

Odor in Virginia

The guest was awakened by a strong smell she associated with prior outside activity and shouted not to strike the balcony. She then moved to the kitchen side and heard something moving on the roof overhead. She described the period as a whirlwind of weirdness.

Vocalization in Virginia

After logging repeated overnight knocks and noises, the guest awoke to find the downstairs security light on. A deer stood on the patio sofa close to the house shaking and quivering, which she interpreted as fleeing something in the woods. She had begun keeping a written log because disturbances occurred almost nightly.

Scream in Virginia

A woman from the next wooded street approached the guest and husband in their yard to ask about weird nighttime screaming. She described it as sounding like someone murdering a woman and called it unnerving. The guest advised caution at night without naming a cause.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

While trying to photograph baby flying squirrels from her elevated balcony, the guest moved a flashlight to the ground and discovered two figures watching her from about a dozen feet away. One turned away showing a wide-shouldered, hairy back with large arms and a small conical head on all fours, while the other showed only hair to the side. She inadvertently took photos as both fled, and next morning found torn ground where they had run.

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. She powdered and photographed them, measured examples about seventeen by nine inches and thirteen by eight inches with a sixty-three-inch stride in one running sequence, and made three plaster casts despite inexperience.

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. Something directly in front of her gave a loud huff-growl she felt physically, though she saw nothing despite a flashlight. A branch then snapped high in the tall trees to her left and fell, after which the dog had already fled inside and she backed inside.

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. She took burst phone photos toward the woodline in the dark and on brightening saw a boxy standing figure looking toward her. 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 said she and another person had been sitting on their wood-surrounded deck when something gave a deep guttural growl, and on approaching the edge she saw eyes in the woods, prompting them to go inside. The neighbor also said she often felt watched when walking by those woods.

Door or window contact in Virginia

After moving to full-time residence, the guest was repeatedly awakened by forceful strikes to her elevated bedroom balcony and garage side that shook rooms but revealed no one on inspection. The strikes occurred repeatedly in the early-morning hours and were accompanied at times by creepy laughing, whistling and knocking from the surrounding woods. She initially suspected human harassment but never saw anyone despite immediate searches with a flashlight.

Rock throwing in Virginia

The witness and friends were camping in the Shenandoah Valley when they heard noises at a distance. About an hour later rocks the size of a hand began landing in the campsite, forcing them to take shelter in their cars. In the morning rangers said no other campers were registered and possible footprints were inconclusive.

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. The face was very close under indoor light, showing leathery dark skin, flared nostrils, thin lips and a grin. 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

The witness later found the same small dog that had accompanied the woods walk missing and flattened into mud near the barn, with its skull flattened and a flat area around it. No vehicle or heavy livestock was present to explain it. In hindsight the witness speculated something very large stepped on it.

Footsteps in Virginia

While walking a couple miles through mountain woods with a small dog, the witness repeatedly heard sticks cracking and leaves rustling off to the side and behind for about half a mile. The dog kept stopping and looking toward the sounds, but the witness saw nothing. At the time it was assumed to be deer or bear.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

The guest went fishing at a beaver pond and was walking home through woods at sunset. He smelled a strong odor, heard movement, then entered a clearing where a large figure stood, grunted, touched his chest, looked him over, then walked past behind him. He returned home shaken, avoided the area, and remains wary in the woods.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

A woman who worked at the nearby store told the owner she saw a bear grab a milk jug from the trash with its paw and walk off on two legs into the woods like a person. The witness thought it was probably not a bear.

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. On another morning he heard a deer screaming, found drag marks, blood on a fallen tree and a dead deer with head bent back, while his white shepherd had no blood on it.

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. Later the trampoline was shifted about nine feet back and seven feet sideways, a makeshift clothesline gutter was torn off, a rock was heard flying through trees in daylight, and brief strong skunk-like and dead-meat odors occurred.

Growl in Virginia

Hoping to catch the owl sound, the witness left a recorder between the kitchen screen and window overnight. He captured a growl he could not explain and remained torn between a Sasquatch explanation and disbelief because he had not seen it.

Door or window contact in Virginia

After the window incident the house was repeatedly smacked, cameras caught nothing and seemed avoided, and an access door was found open. One 5am morning the girlfriend heard window pecking then saw a big black arm pass the front-door window. The witness found piled weeds at the door and two muddy handprints at that bedroom window measuring about eight to nine inches long with slightly wider fingers.
