July 2005, Mid-Afternoon, 5-10 miles West of Breezewood, on the PA Turnpike:
While traveling west on the turnpike, a man pulled off into a rest area next to a gated facility, possibly a mine or dump, to stretch his legs. He walked up a pathway that paralleled the turnpike, maybe 100 yards. Something moved in a weed bed (2'-3' high) not more than 25 feet from him. He caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a left shoulder, an arm, or a front leg covered in reddish-brown fur. He immediately thought of a black bear, and it gave two or three grunts as a warning. He ran down the hill to his car as fast as possible to leave the area.

June 26, 2004, Clearville: 

Two men walking in a field claim to have witnessed a 9-foot tall creature covered in reddish-brown hair walking towards them. Something spooked the creature, and it turned and ran up a hill into a cornfield. Also reported were reddish-brown hair found on a barbed wire fence, several footprints, and loud vocalizations. 

Fall of 2002, near Burnt Church Road in the State Game Lands near Breezewood:
While Sleeping in her car, a woman was woken around midnight by a noise outside the vehicle. She could make out the shape of what she thought was a massive bear behind her car about 20 feet away next to trees. It was urinating for a long time and sounded like a farm cow; she watched silently as the "bear" stood straight up and resembled a man. The creature walked a wide circle around her car as if inspecting it for over 45 minutes. The following day, she returned at daybreak; she found a huge ball of hair in the form of a tree, 25 feet from where she had her car parked. The hair was long, reddish-brown, and matted, along with being smelly, like body odor, feces, and urine. 

 

Summer 2000, Bedford County, Clearville, near Rt. 326:

After Dark, around 11 pm, in clear conditions, a man out camping is visited by something scraping against the roof of his tarped, makeshift tent with its fingers. The man swatted at the tarp to cease the touching and felt a hand grab his left ankle gently. The man jerked his leg back, and the "something" ran off.

1984, Bedford: 

A young boy was delivering newspapers when he sighted a 7-8 foot tall, dark hair-covered creature walking across a clear-cut area.
