We recently had a sightings report from Pawtuckaway State Park and are currently do some field research in the area. We have now got in 2 more reports from the area. These sightings are from a few years ago, but are still great to establish the history of sightings in the area.

Describe sighting in detail:
I have had 2 unusual experiences within Pawtuckaway State Park.  The first was the summer of 2005 when I worked in Pawtuckaway for the summer season.  It was a rainy mid-summer day, and there was never much activity on those days.
It was early afternoon after lunch so roughly 1 or 2 p.m. a co-worker and I were driving back up to the office from down in the state park.  As we reached the area of “Mountain Pond” I saw something very large and very fast run across the road about 500ft. ahead.  The thing I remember the most was the stride and the upright position on 2 legs not 4.  It looked like it took 3 strides gliding across the road on 2 legs.  It was dark and hairy in appearance, but since we were so far away I didn’t get a detailed look at all.  My co-worker saw the same thing and was petrified.  As we pulled up to roughly the same place that it had crossed (my co-worker was shook and refused to exit the truck), I got out of the truck for a look and a listen.  I heard crashing and thumping through the forest.  Loud snapping of branches and logs as this thing was cruising.  I gave a shout, and all I got in return was more of the same snapping and thrashing of the forest.  It wanted out of sight, which was clear to me.
After listening for a few minutes to whatever it was run through the forest, I no longer heard anything.  It was on 2 legs, straight up not hunched. So it was either a very extra-large dark hairy human being running through the forest for fun or something else?  It was not a bear, it was not a moose, it was not a deer.  I have seen all of those animals before in the wild and they run on 4 legs not 2.  One more point worth noting is the direction in which the thing I saw was running in.  There were no trails, and there are no trails anywhere near the direction it was heading, in fact there are no roads or houses for many miles in that direction.  I was baffled, and my co-worker was admittedly scared.  I have only told my Dad and a couple of good friends, all of which are just as familiar with the area as I am.

Sighting #2

My next strange experience might not be as unexplainable, but it was certainly more alarming.  It was early spring 2011; there were tiny pockets of snow still remaining from the winter but it was a warm calm morning, no wind at all.  I was out on the backside of Pawtuckaway to meet some friends for a hike.  I arrived early and decided to head out before them and meet up with them at the tower (or at least somewhere on the trail up).  So I was heading up South Ridge Trail and like I said it looked to be a beautiful spring day, with no wind.  As I am walking along all of a sudden without any warning I hear a tree crack and fall, it scared the crap out of me because it was calm and silent and it was also only about 50-100 ft off the trail.  So that spooked me, but to make matters worse at roughly the same time the tree crashed down, there was a large deep grunt like sound followed by a sort of squealing sound on the opposite side of the trail about the same distance off as the tree.  So loud and abrupt sound of the tree coming crashing down apparently scared whatever was on the opposite side of the trail too.  After the initial crash of the tree and the sound of the animal there was the familiar thudding, and thrashing of the forest, as the thing that made the sound was out of there like lightning. 

Now I am only sharing this experience because of the overall proximity of events.  I didn’t see anything this day but I heard plenty.  I know what I heard could have been a bear or a moose who was simply as spooked by the tree falling as I was.  Whatever the case I picked up the nearest stick I could find and turned around and headed back toward the car to wait for my friends.  To this day I do not feel totally comfortable in the woods I grew up in when I am alone.

Thanks for sending in the reports/experiences. We hope to have a follow up to our field research in the future.

Thanks

Possible Bigfoot track

I was recently contacted by Jeff, he had been looking and studying our Bigfoot Sightings Map and wanted to ask some basic information. I was happy to help him out. A few days later I got another email from Jeff along with some pictures and here is what he said:

"The reason I asked about the pins is that I read a couple of your reports and decided to do a little research. After studying a map of the area I set out to explore where I thought these reports might have taken place.

I had a great hike and great luck. I found an amazing stick structure along with a trackway and a number of tree breaks.

When expanding your map your pin is on the other side of the park from where I had my best luck. Although I did find a healthy tree (aprox 6" diameter) that had been knocked over by something (which was not weather related) closer to where your pin was located."


Jeff was kind enough to share the photos of the tracks and the stick formation he found. Here is the other pictures.




Here we see a possible Bigfoot track line.














Here is a odd shelter/stick formation. This sure does not appear to be anything done naturally or by the wind. Great find by Jeff!





Jeff also had this to say:

"....I would not have found these if it wasn't for you and your website. These pictures were taken at Pawtuckaway State Park in NH on Sunday January 18th."


As some of you may know, this is not the first reports from Pawtuckaway State Park. Our very own Jason Morse has conducted investigation and research in this area.
Here is some links to other reports from this area.

Who made this structure?

This post/report from TCC Team Member Jason Morse.  Jason is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, trained in wilderness survival tactics, a 26-year martial artist, DJ, EMT, and amateur writer. Jason conducts bigfoot field research, witness interviews, and more for The Crypto Crew.



This is just some follow-up work on a couple of recent posts (found Here & Here) about possible Bigfoot activity in Pawtuckaway Park in New Hampshire. This was an actual sightings report we followed up on.

Our friend Monroe Bean, who goes into the field with us sometimes, found the interesting stick structure pictured above.  We all pretty much think it was most likely a man-made structure but you never know, I guess.

When I got to Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham, NH, there was a large amount of snowmobile, skier, and foot traffic, so I assumed immediately that this would be an evidence collecting expedition.

After travelling down Round Pond Trail and up towards Mountain trail towards the fire tower, I noticed tons of tracks from coyote, deer, fox, and a possible bobcat. Food sources in the park wouldn't be an issue. After walking about a mile and a half, I noticed off to the left of the trail, a ledge outcropping and two trees in an "X" formation.

I came upon a series of tracks that looked like snowshoes, but the path they went wasn't conducive to a person being able to easily go. I had lots of trouble getting to where the trackline was on foot, and couldn't get up to what looked like a moderate sized cave.


Possible track on left and a possible small cave on right

The more I looked, the more small things I noticed, such as tree twists, possible structures, and multiple blow downs. I couldn't tell if the blow downs were a natural occurrence or done on purpose, but the few tree twists I saw, one about 6 feet high, one closer to 12-14 feet off the ground, couldn't have been done naturally in my opinion.


The entire area is definitely a prime area for a Sasquatch to call home, tons of dense, thick forest, lots of water sources (some with exposed, running water) and plenty of food sources. I'm very anxious to meet up with the person who filed the report and go to exactly where the sighting occurred.

Bigfoot in NH - Mock up photo of sighting

Got a very fresh possible bigfoot sighting report in over the weekend. We do have a team member in the area and we are following up on the report. Hope to have more soon.

-Start Report-
Name: Chris G*******
Email Address: Withheld
State: NH
County: Rockingham
Date of Sighting: Feb 2 2014
Time of Day: 1330
Nearest Town: Nottingham
Length of Sighting: 5 seconds
How many Witnesses: just me and my dogs
Any Photos/Videos: no
Describe sighting in detail:
I was hiking in Pawtuckaway Park this am with my 2 Bernese Mountain dogs.  On the descent, very close to the bottom on the mountain we were at a slight jog on snow and ice covered trails, when something about 30 yards ahead moved from my left to my right cutting perpendicular to the trail.
I had a clear line of sight to the incident just 30 yards ahead.  My dogs stopped dead in their tracks and I said, "its just a hiker guys".  But whatever it was was bipedal and much bigger than me and moving at what must have been a very fast pace.
We arrived at the spot and saw nothing ahead, nothing behind and nothing down and to my right.  No sounds.  Whatever that was had come from my left, thru the woods on no trail, moved right across our trail and down to my right into more woods.  I ran ahead thinking it must have been a runner but saw no one and had over 100 yards of clear sight.  I ran back and saw nothing.
I am a marathon runner and an athlete myself and no human could have moved that fast over that terrain so as to elude my sight.  That was either a ghost, a super human athlete, or a BF.  I can't rationalize what I saw.
