Armstrong County

March 8, 2004, Freeport

A man driving on a back road witnesses a tall hair covered figure standing on the left side of the road. As he approaches within 70 yards of the creature, it crosses the road in three steps, steps over a 3-foot high guardrail without breaking its stride and disappears down an embankment. The man states the face and chest area are lighter colored than the rest of the animal. He also claims he discovered a four-toed footprint on the berm.

May 2000:

On a back country road, a man driving home from work witnessed a bigfoot type creature cross in front of his car and enter the woods. He watches as the creature walks into the woods, and looks back at him. The witness describes the face of that of a Neanderthal.

January 22, 1996, 4:55 PM, Madison Township

This incident occurred along SR1004 and was observed by a State Trooper. The terrain was isolated, wooded and hilly. Nearby there is a stream, some cabins, and railroad tracks. It was a cold and rainy day with snow on the ground. The approximate temperature was 40 degrees. A tall, hairy, bipedal creature stepped out of the woods and stopped briefly, about 20 to 30 feet in front of the vehicle, looking at the approaching vehicle. It then crossed the road in front of the police vehicle and disappeared into a thicket of laurel bushes. The entire incident lasted about 10 seconds. The State Trooper had an excellent view of the creature and it saw him too. There was only one creature and it stood 7 to 8 foot tall. The creature was brown to a dark brown in color with long shaggy dog hair. The hair on its back was the darkest brown. The State Trooper estimated it weighed about 300 to 400 pounds. The creature had kind of a pointy head with a very pronounced forehead. Its face was hairy except near the eyes and the mouth area. It had almond shaped eyes the size of quarters (the witness could not make out the color), a flat nose, a normal mouth area, and the lip area was tight. It stood slightly stooped over with its shoulders dropped and had a barrel-shaped chest. No unusual sounds were heard and no odors were detected. The State Trooper got out of his car and found 6 footprints that had a human shape with 5 toes, measuring 18" x 6". No castings were made and no other evidence was found around the area. -Courtesy of Dr. Paul Johnson.

Summer 1991: Tarentum

May 1989 near Logansport, PA:

The witness was walking home late at night around 11:00 pm from a friends house in Logansport along the railroad tracks which lead into Roston and Ford City.  While walking along those tracks the witness began hearing noises behind him as if someone else were walking with him.  After he stopped, he heard a noise which almost sounded like a huffing noise, similar to a horse but almost bear-like.  The witness turned around and in saw a shadowy figure of a person that stood at least 8 feet tall.  The witness stands 6 feet tall so he stated he had a good guess at the height of what I saw.  The witness remembers the eyes that almost seemed silvery, looking at him in a quick glare and remembered the smell of what seemed like a dead animal. He immediately started running and never looked back because he was too afraid.   Being a life long hunter, he knew then it wasn’t a bear. The eyes did seem to be silvery as that was one of the key distinctions he remembered.
