USA Sightings -

Bigfoot Database of Sightings from Across the USA

Below are sightings of the alleged Sasquatch from across the USA. Every year, hundreds of sightings take place here in the US, most of which occur in California. Almost every state has has sightings. Is this mast hysteria, or is an undiscovered ape actually prowling the woods of North America? Whether you embrace the existence of Bigfoot or not, sightings in North America date back hundreds of years. Native Americans all across the US have their own name for Bigfoot, yet all their stories talk about a bipedal, upright-walking hairy man. Is Bigfoot real or the mere ghost of fiction? Well, you decide.

Sighting on December 24th, 2014

"On my way home Christmas Eve dec 24 2014, I was getting off 78 to King Georges rd , I take the back way which is Mountain Av in Warren,NJ to Old Stirling Rd. it was gloomy but not fully dark around 430pm. I remember passing a home with a postal truck parked in front maybe 100 ft ahead after the road passes over HWY 78 as Mountain av continues, (I take this road all the time going home from work)I was driving I see a dark tall manlike vision walking on the left side of the road all black, very tall and huge upper body, had long arms, big head like one of those Russian fur hats walking in big strides, head bobbing a bit and arms swaying EXACTLY like they say it on Finding Bigfoot and on some documentaries as I got closer I can see it wasn't a human and immediately as the road curved and I did slow down to make it around the bend, it was long enough to get pretty decent look but as I got closer to it just and turned towards the woods and just walked over the guard rail and disappeared into the woods, got a little chill because again logically in thinking some crazy psycho wanting to hitch a ride, Bigfoot was furthest from my mind but this creature didn't look at me or stop just walked and then as my car approached just walked inTo the woods. I kept this vision in my head and I kept replaying it back and I just couldn't see how it would be anyone and why at that moment... I'm not expecting anything and I know I wasn't hallucinating, I am convinced I really think it was a Bigfoot Creature. I know the surrounding woods and has little swampy spots in that area but to me it seemed too close to 78 and civilization.... I was hoping if anyone else has seen sighting there or if possible someone can check that out... thank u for ur time!!"

Sighting in Morris County-1985-Details Pending

"In dec.of 1985 i had two sighthings of a bigfoot in morris county on schooly mountain."

*Encounter in 1983-**Details Pending*

"I had an encounter near the NY border of the Wawayanda State Park in 1983. I noticed you had an expedition there....may I suggest following the Doublekill stream towards New York. May I also suggest very small parties. Large groups of men typically keep wildlife on edge and well hidden."

My Mysterious Find Several Years Ago

Details: On February 2, 2009, I went hiking in Washington Valley Park. A few hikes ago in the same park, I found a footprint. Yesterday, it was no different. I was walking, and there was snow and ice practically everywhere. As I was walking, I came a cross a footprint. Now, I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t one of those 16-inch footprints that people usually find. This one was about 9-10 inches long. There were no others of its kind, which comes of no surprise. So many footprints of people were on the same path that you could barely see an intact, human footprint. This footprint was a little off to the side, so it was spared being trampled and ruined.

Was it a hoax? Well, I highly doubt that a person would go walking barefoot on snow in the middle of winter. Such actions can lead to severe health issues such as hypothermia and frostbite. If it was a hoax, man it was a good one. Yet, I doubt it was a hoax because the average person in Bridgewater would never dream of Sasquatch living under their gaze.

The Possibility of Young Bigfoot(s): It is very interesting how most alleged Bigfoot footprints are huge. If it is a real animal, then there have to be small, young and juvenile Bigfoots as well. That means varied sizes of footprints, which means smaller footprints than usual. There are occasional findings of small footprints, and I strongly believe that this may have been a young Bigfoot prowling the woods, most likely at night.

Washington Valley Park’s Nature and surrounding areas: Washington Valley Park is approximately 715.5 acres. It consists of Pine and Hemlock forests, marshes, streams, impressive mini-water falls, and impressive rock outcroppings. This park is home to wild turkey, deer, rabbit, fox, occasional coyote, eagle, hawk, etc. While a Bigfoot would find it hard to live here, it could remain in seclusion for a few days at a time, perhaps when traveling to a preferred habitat. Washington Valley Park is within Somerset County, which contains the Great Swamp Basin, which is right across from the 7,600 acre Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Many other parks, and green, open and forested spaces exist within Somerset County. If Bigfoot is the intelligent primate many have dubbed it to be, then it most certainly would take advantage of these areas to hide during the day, and move efficiently at night.

Dead Deer Kill Found at Washington Valley Park

A few weeks ago, in the same park, I found a dead white-tailed deer. Its right, back leg was mutilated, and its guts were moved to the side. This, of course, struck me as odd. This came to be even odder after reading an article on the BFRO website. It was about how alleged Bigfoot in some parts of America, particularly in the central, have been known to kill deer. The odd fact being that they all were found dead in the same fashion: one leg broken and guts removed to the side. This was exactly how I found the deer. This really made for a weird moment! I mean, it was exactly like they stated it on the BFRO website. It was extremely weird and spine-tingling. Was this a kill made by the alleged Sasquatch of North America? It very well could be. Another fact which really was frightening as that many of the deer were uneaten. Most just were eaten a little. The deer I saw only had a little portion of the muscle surrounding the broken leg eaten. The rest stayed.

Couldn’t the killer be a predator like a coyote or fox? This is a very interesting question, and one easily dismissed. It couldn’t have been a predator like a coyote or fox. Those animals are far too small to bring down a deer of this size. As for packs of coyotes, it is possible. But the deer would have been mostly all eaten if it were a pack. The carcass was about 3 days old.

So, is this proof of Sasquatch’s diet? Well, by the finding of the footprint yesterday, and the previous deer carcass found, this may very well be Sasquatch's food source. Deer are plentiful in North America, especially in the state of NJ. Many witnesses, even here in NJ, have reported seeing tall, bipedal hairy ape-like animals chase after deer. Deer would be a valuable source of food during the winter, and all year around.

December 29, 2008 in Bridgewater, Somerset County, NJ

The witness awoke around two a.m. to the sounds of of something terrifying and unknown. The witness said that the sounds seemed as if they were whistles mixed with screams. The witness said they were not human, and that it certainly was no wind. The witness said that she was terrified, and was certain that it was something out of the ordinary.

Sighting in Washington State in 1984

"I was a sergeant of military police,stationed at ft.lewis,washington(back in 1984),we(myself and 2 other mp's)were looking into a reported prowler incident,in the wee hours of the morning(the bars had closed just prior to the call)..upon arrival we heard a most strange howling cry,coming from the adjacent wilderness area(nothing i'd ever heard in past tours/as i had been at ft.lewis back in 1977 as well)..we began a search of the area,each taking a quadrant...the captain and i,met at the edge of the nearby meadow,when we heard 5 distinct pistol shots(from the k9 unit's quadrant)we moved toward his location,when we encountered the k9 dog running towards us,dragging his leash(without his handler),we found him in semi-shock,back to a tree,still cycling his weapon(army k9 carried s&w .38 revolvers in those days),the location was at the edge of an old narrow gauge railroad spur,it was easy to see that something big had torn through the thick foliage,exited the area,sending the handler back to his vehicle,the capt.and i,took up pursuit....at times heavy foot steps could be heard,ahead of us ,but the heavy darkened woods prevented any visual contact...as time passed and false dawn was breaking.we stopped at the edge of a clearing,when we detected movement,along the egde(towards mt.rainier)i was armed with my issue(.45 and 12 gauge riot gun)the capt.also a (.45),when we heard another howling cry(sort of a deep growling roar,building into a high octave howling)it was weird and made goosebumps!..my weapon at the ready,we saw this creature enter the clearing(maybe 35 meters or so)it was easy 7-8 ft tall and massive,with no neck in evidence,covered with dark hair,heavy shoulders long arms,oddly shaped head,seemed ape-like,but was definately walking on 2 legs..i jacked a round into the shotgun chamber(either the booger,caught our scent or perhaps heard the clack)it stopped,turned it's whole body,and looked at us(it was light enough to shoot,but not enough to clearly see facial features)the critter made no aggressive actions,just stood there(i remember the head moving slightly side to side)i don't recall the time span,but it evidently lost interest and resumed it's direction,and disappeared into the far treeline..up to the contact.i thought we were hunting a bear..but this critter never went down onto all fours..and maintained it's shuffling gait,until out of sight..the capt.refused to authorize deadly force,unless it attacked.....i should have dropped that booger dead,controversy over...rather than having to endure the years of ridicule and career abuse,i had to withstand...i can not imagine,anyone so bored with thier life,that they'd make up such a story thus looking like a fool,just for some negative attention...but on line there seems to be plenty,telling booger stories that reek of bullpoop..i know what i saw and DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE BELIEVES ANY LONGER!!"

December 31, 2007 in Bridgewater, Somerset County NJ

"On this day, I went walking through Washington Valley park alone. This 705+ acre region is made up of both reservoirs and wooded area. Located in Somerset County NJ, it is home to various creatures such as turkeys, snakes, rabbits, deer, hawks, falcons, and even Bald eagles. When I was walking, I was dazzled by the immense beauty of this area. Even in the winter, it seemed alive and thriving with vibrant colors and sounds.
While I was walking, I noticed something rather odd. A foot print, but not of a dog. It was not like anything I have ever seen. It looked human, but I do not think it was. Why may you ask? Well, would you go walking through a park, bare-footed, in the middle of winter, when its cold, and in an area where you could easily cut yourself? I do not think so. That's what truly shocked me. I took a picture. It is strange. Above is the photo. Notice how there are five toes. I promise this is no hoax of mine. Below I highlighted the print. Sorry if the image is not great."

January of 2005 in Bridgewater, Somerset County NJ

"I was outside shoveling snow when I noticed some rather LARGE foot prints. I swear my heart started pounding at that instant. I had never seen such large "feet". I cannot be certain it was a mysterious creature, but bears RARELY pass our area, and they walk on all fours. There were only pairs of two foot prints, and I believe that they faded quickly, with about 4 or 6 of them in total. It appeared to me that they were headed to my neighbor's backyard. I'll tell you all now, I have always been a fan of cryptids. Always will be. Once again, I don't know if they were from a bigfoot, but I will tell you one thing, they were abnormally large. I remember wanting to tell my science teacher, but I was afraid he would think I was not 100% in the head, so I never did."
