This is the witneeses email re-written from her perspective
Witness was on a smoke break at work with 2 other people when she saw something across the road in a field walking. One witness said it was a person with a hoodie on. As the three witnesses were watching the figure, it went down onto what appeared to be 4 legs then back up onto 2 then started walking again. The witness stated she was definitely not close enough to see it well try. The witness definitely thought it looked way to big to be a person for sure because it was next to the trees and looked way too tall. The figure was white in color. She thought it may have been an albino bear. PBS Assistant Director Earl Dundore met with the witness, felt she did see something unusual, but no evidence as to what was seen was found.

Spring of 1990 near Shaler Young boys discovered what they believed to be two deer killed by a Bigfoot at the top of a steep ravine. Two very fresh deer carcasses were poorly stowed up under some undergrowth. The adult doe had three broken legs, one of the rear legs almost completely twisted off. The fawn had an obvious broken back. At the time we never thought of a Bigfoot related deer kill. Years later (about 3 years ago) one of the witnesses stumbled across an article on Bigfoot and deer kills. Before seeing the photos we knew that what we found that day matched exactly what the article described. The boys did go back (shortly after-- possibly same day) to the "scene of the crime" to come up with a better explanation but the carcasses were gone - no drag marks, blood, etc.. Aside from the broken bones, there were no evident wounds on either deer; definitely not a dog-kill.

The children stated they could see that it was a very tall creature of maybe 7 foot. It was all hair, dark brown, with long armed, and made no noise. The creature stayed at the forests edge watching the children for at least a half an hour. o They watched it as it moved back into the forest. Per the witnesses, they first thought it might be a bear or a tree stump, but quickly realized it wasn't. They also said it was not a shadow. It un-nerved the children to be watched by the creature, and they did not return back to that spot again for over a week until they got the courage up to go to the spot where they had seen the figure. All they discovered was an area of snow that had been walked on, but could not make out any clear tracks.

January 1, 2012 at 02:45 am while driving towards Dubois on route 322 on the Rockton Mountain.
A young woman who was the designated driver and driving her boyfriend home from a New Years Eve wedding, were driving across Rockton Mountain on 322 towards Dubois saw a black object along the right side of the road on the berm. At first she thought it was a bush, but then it moved. As she got closer, she thought it may be a man in black clothing, until she was just about to pass it and my headlights really lit it up. the large figure was black in color, covered in hair and stood approximately 6 to 7 feet tall. The creature began to run towards the gaurd rail and then lept over the gaurdrail without using its arms to jump over. At that time, she saw the bottom of its foot, and it appeared brown in color also. Just as that happened, my boyfriend asked me if I saw what he just saw, and I said yes. I immediately became scared and started to cry. It was very fast. It went from a croutching position, then stood up, ran and leapt over the gaurdrail. The female witness thought her boyfriend was pulling a joke on her, but when they both saw it, she looked away, stunned, until her boyfriend asked her if she saw what he did.
(PBS members Dave and Carrey Rupert attempted to contact the witness several times, however she did not return the phone calls.)
January 1, 2012 at approximately 1:30 am driving on route 322 towards Clearfield, PA.
A husband and wife were driving home at 1:30 am on route 322 witnessed a creature run across the roadway from right to left at a very fast speed. As the creature ran across the road, the witnesses could see the arms swing as it ran. The female witness stated the arms didn't swing in the same manner as a human's would and were not as vigourous as a persons would swing. The bottom of the feet appeared lighter in color. They could clearly see it in their headlights as it crossed and the husband tried to turn the car to angle the headlights in the direction the creature ran, however the wife was quite frightened and urged him to keep driving. The creature ran so quickly, they could not determine the size or height of the creature.
(This case was investigated by Dave and Carrey Rupert. They found the husband and wife to be credible. Please check out the photos taken by the Ruperts on our photo page titled January 1, 2012 - Rockton Mountain, Clearfield County)

October 23, 24, and 25th, 2009 Black Moshannon Forest, Rockton Mountain
The PBS held an expedition and invited numerous individuals to participate. PBS members Dave Rupert, Eric Altman, Joyce Long, Earl and Pat Dundore Wildlife Biologist and PBS member Tim Cassidy, Pennsylvania Research Organization members Denny and Colleen C, Independent researcher Bruce Harrington and others attended. Several broken pine trees were discovered in a field in the state forest by Dave Rupert. The trees were examined by Eric Altman, Dave Rupert and Tim Cassidy and very unusual hair was discovered on two of the broken pine trees. The hair was collected, and has been delivered to Dr. Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University for microscopic identifying and study to determine a possible match and if the hairs warrant further analysis through DNA study. Several possible tracks were discovered by Tim Cassidy in the same area as the broken pine trees. (Please see photos in the photo page titled October 23,24,25 PBS Clearfield Expedition.)

August 2 2009 right after dark at a campsite off of route 36 between an abandoned strip mine and some farms. 15 minutes from Prince Galitzen Park
A group of men were sitting around camp fire. They heard weird noises and felt like we were being watched. Two of the men went off to gather firewood. One of the men came back to the fire first because he couldn’t get over the feeling he was getting. The other men at the campfire heard a whistling sound and we thought it was the man who went for firewood. The whistling sounds continued along with strange noises like something was trying to be quiet. The men shouted that they had guns and weren't afraid to shoot. The noises continued and got closer and closer. At one point one of the men saw something when he shined the flashlight in that direction. They all stood up and one man started shooting a bb gun into the woods trying to scare off whatever it was. In return a rock was thrown at us and missed camp by 10 ft. A strange "throat clearing" sound was made. The men jumped in the trucks and went to the top of the hill. After about 20 minutes they started hearing the same noises, the whistling and the rustling. The men left the area for a short time. When they came back a brown head was seen above bushes that were 7-8 ft high. The head promptly ducked into the bushes and upon investigation of the area it was seen that there was a hill right behind the bushes that it probably ran into. They sat there astonished for awhile and in the next couple of minutes they started hearing the same noises as before but coming from behind a trailer that was sitting in a patch of bare ground. The noises got closer and closer until they couldn’t stand it anymore and. Left the area for the night. The next morning they went back to the camp and, found no signs of disturbance.

Sept/October 2007 Parker Dam State Park. Near Mud Run Road and Tyler Rd.
A park ranger was on patrol of the park and driving the back maitenence roads. Had a sighting saw what he first thought was a bear. It was standing at the opposite side of an open field pulling in leaves to its mouth and stripping them from the branch. He stopped his truck, grabbed his camera and ran towards the “bear.” The creature then stood up, walked down the embankment on two legs and a few feet before dropping to all fours and running off into the thick brush. The ranger is familiar with bear as he has seen a bear there before. He would have discounted it as a bear sighting, however the hind legs were drastically disproportionate. The animal was black in the shade of the trees however, as it moved away from me and crossed some sunlight filtering through the trees it appeared to have a reddish "iridescence". He reported the sighting to his superiors and was told there were no similar sightings in the area and that he should not discuss it further. On November 13, 2007, PBS Member Scott Snook and his son met with the Park Ranger and he showed the the location. They felt the Ranger was very honest about what he saw. On December 7, 2007, Eric Altman, Billy Willard, Greg Rishell, Steve Kulls and members of Tom Biscardi's Searching for Bigfoot Team met with the Park Ranger and he showed us the location. The Park Ranger also sent photos of a dead deer he found that was decomposing but had a gaping hole in it's side and it's neck broken. This was discovered at a different location of the park in October 2007. (Scott Snooks photos, The Park Rangers and the photos taken December 7 by Eric Altman are listed in the album titled Parker Dam State Park 12-7-2007. )

October 15, 1989 approximately 7am at Medix Run near Shagers pond
While turkey hunting, five men were walking on a tram road cut through a tornado blowdown shortly after daylight. They observed a 7 foot tall, large black creature walking across this tram road below us,and across a ravine. They seemed to have spotted it before it saw them. They were all stopped and focused on the creature when it spotted them. Its immediate reaction to us was to stop and croutch down to the ground. They could all still plainly see the creature at this time as it croutched on the ground faceing them. Itt seemed to make a decision to itself that it was not hidden and they were looking at it. It then stood upright and began to run for cover. Its stride was long with its arms swinging near its knees. As it entered the tangled mess of the blowdown it went over, under,and through the brush with a very convincing force. This very powerful and loud departure was all the convincing that any of us needed to make the conclusion that what we just saw was no hoax. we did find the tracks in soft sand on the tram road.These measured approx. 15" long and approx. 6" wide.

The whistling sounds continued along with strange noises like something was trying to be quiet. The men shouted that they had guns and weren't afraid to shoot. The noises continued and got closer and closer. At one point one of the men saw something when he shined the flashlight in that direction. They all stood up and one man started shooting a bb gun into the woods trying to scare off whatever it was. In return a rock was thrown at us and missed camp by 10 ft. A strange "throat clearing" sound was made. The men jumped in the trucks and went to the top of the hill. After about 20 minutes they started hearing the same noises, the whistling and the rustling. The men left the area for a short time. When they came back a brown head was seen above bushes that were 7-8 ft high. The head promptly ducked into the bushes and upon investigation of the area it was seen that there was a hill right behind the bushes that it probably ran into. They sat there astonished for awhile and in the next couple of minutes they started hearing the same noises as before but coming from behind a trailer that was sitting in a patch of bare ground. The noises got closer and closer until they couldn’t stand it anymore and. Left the area for the night. The next morning they went back to the camp and, found no signs of disturbance.

Sept/October 2007 Parker Dam State Park. Near Mud Run Road and Tyler Rd.
A park ranger was on patrol of the park and driving the back maitenence roads. Had a sighting saw what he first thought was a bear. It was standing at the opposite side of an open field pulling in leaves to its mouth and stripping them from the branch. He stopped his truck, grabbed his camera and ran towards the “bear.” The creature then stood up, walked down the embankment on two legs and a few feet before dropping to all fours and running off into the thick brush. The ranger is familiar with bear as he has seen a bear there before. He would have discounted it as a bear sighting, however the hind legs were drastically disproportionate. The animal was black in the shade of the trees however, as it moved away from me and crossed some sunlight filtering through the trees it appeared to have a reddish "iridescence". He reported the sighting to his superiors and was told there were no similar sightings in the area and that he should not discuss it further. On November 13, 2007, PBS Member Scott Snook and his son met with the Park Ranger and he showed the the location. They felt the Ranger was very honest about what he saw. On December 7, 2007, Eric Altman, Billy Willard, Greg Rishell, Steve Kulls and members of Tom Biscardi's Searching for Bigfoot Team met with the Park Ranger and he showed us the location.

This was discovered at a different location of the park in October 2007. (Scott Snooks photos, The Park Rangers and the photos taken December 7 by Eric Altman are listed in the album titled Parker Dam State Park 12-7-2007. )

October 15, 1989 approximately 7am at Medix Run near Shagers pond
While turkey hunting, five men were walking on a tram road cut through a tornado blowdown shortly after daylight. They observed a 7 foot tall, large black creature walking across this tram road below us,and across a ravine. They seemed to have spotted it before it saw them. They were all stopped and focused on the creature when it spotted them. Its immediate reaction to us was to stop and croutch down to the ground. They could all still plainly see the creature at this time as it croutched on the ground faceing them. Itt seemed to make a decision to itself that it was not hidden and they were looking at it. It then stood upright and began to run for cover. Its stride was long with its arms swinging near its knees. As it entered the tangled mess of the blowdown it went over, under,and through the brush with a very convincing force. This very powerful and loud departure was all the convincing that any of us needed to make the conclusion that what we just saw was no hoax. we did find the tracks in soft sand on the tram road.These measured approx. 15" long and approx. 6" wide.

Upon looking she saw a very tall, massive in size creature walking through the briars and bushes right towards her. The creature stopped at the edge of the yard, looking at her before turning and walkign back into the over grown briars, flailiing its arms as it forced its way through it. She watched the large dark colored creature for several minutes until it disspeared into the bushes and out of sight. The Pa Bigfoot Society was not contacted by the witness until over a month later and met with the witness at the beginning of September. Several PA Bigfoot Society members investigated including Eric Altman, Dave and Cindy Dragosin, Brian and Terrie Seech, Dave Rupert along with many independent researchers as well. The PA Bigfoot Society continued with the follow up investigation until late October. Between September and late October, the women claimed several other encounters, hearing sounds and two additional sightings on the property. The PA Bigfoot Society investigations did not produce any evidence of creatures being on the property. Game Cams were hung, Audio Recorders were set out and numerous over night observations were spent on the property. There were a few cases of strange sounds reported and possible eye shine, but nothing conclusive was experienced. (see the photos in the PBS photo page titled Late July Dunbar two creature sighting)

The report was orginally submitted to Sasquatch Watch of Virginia, who in turn forwarded the report to the PA Bigfoot Society for followup.
A woman driving on North Connellsville Street out of the city almost hits a creature that darted into the roadway. She was driving 40 miles an hour and saw a figure running towards the roadway from a middle school yard on her left. Feeling that it was a person or child going to run into the street and be hit, she slammed on her brakes and stopped at the curb on the right, in front of Right Aid Pharmacy. The creature continued running into the street and she got a good look at it's face. She stated it had a wild look on it's face, and covered from head to toe in hair. She was so close to the creature, she thought it was going to hit the front of the hood of her car. Instead it lept over the trunk of her car as she watched it in her rear view mirror. The creature continued into the right aid parking lot and onto a side street running down the street and eventually out of site. The incident was passed on from Billy Willard, director of SWOV to PA Bigfoot Society Eric Altman. Eric spoke with the witness on Sunday July 11 and arranged a face to face interview on July 16, 2009. The woman and her husband were met at the sighting location by PA Bigfoot Society members Eric Altman, Dave and Cindy Dragosin and Long time UFO/Bigfoot researcher Stan Gordon. All who interviewed the witness felt she was being sincere and telling the truth about her experience. She did not describe the creature as a "Bigfoot" but more as a "Werewolf" type creature. Eric, Stan, Dave and Cindy searched the wooded area behind the school and found no evidence. The only possible evidence was found was several scratch marks on the witnesses rear driver quarter pannel. What is odd, is the car was a brand new Ford 500 with not blemishes or body damage on it, except for what looked like to be an 8 inch wide 2 inch long set of fine scratches which looked as if something with coarse hair or a brush was brushed across the quarter pannel. Dave Dragosin sketched a composite based upon the witnesses description. The location of the woman's sighting and close encounter is only 3 1/2 miles from the base of the Chestnut Ridge mountain range and 5 miles from Jumonville Summit where there is a long history of Sighting reports. An article about the sighting made Cryptomundo and multiple media outlets including the newspaper article from the Uniontown Harold Standard Newspaper.

I received a phone call from Stan Gordon informing me of a report he had just received. He told me he was contacted by a family living in Derry Twp. that had discovered strange human like footprints near their home and that a famly member had a sighting of a gray colored creature the day prior. Members of the Pennsylvania Researchers Organization and PA Bigfoot Society, Denny and Colleen C. were dispatched to the area to meet the witnesses, take photos and hopefully cast the tracks. Unfortunately, enroute to the location, it began to thunderstorm and upon arriving, Denny and Colleen did see the impressions but the rain had filled the tracks leaving any details washed out. Fortunately the father of the witness was smart enough to cover the tracks with Styrofoam, although this did little good to preserve any details. Denny and Colleen found the witnesses to be very credible and took photos of the tracks. Denny and Stan returned the next day to further investigate the area for additional evidence, however found none.
May 4, 2007 Outside Latrobe PA early evening
several boys were riding their bmx bikes on a bike trail along the Loyallhanna creek about 4 miles from where the April sighting took place, just outside of the City of Latrobe. The boys were riding their bikes when one boy noticed a tall dark hair covered creature with broad shoulders, red eyes. The creature gave off an odor of rotten eggs. As the boys stopped too look at the creature, it appeared to move its lips and growl at the boys. The boys claim they saw the creature three more times that evening. They also stated this was not the first time the creature had been sighted in the area. After receiving the report, I attempted numerous times to contact the boys by email and by phone but no reply was returned. My son Joshua and I went too the area a few days later and hiked the area the boys described. We found no signs or evidence of the creature. I did speak with some fly fisherman who were in the creek fishing, and they told me they fish there almost daily and have never seen anything. The case remains listed as inconclusive unless further information surfaces.
April 22, 2007 3:00 AM Loyalhanna Creek Derry Township
A man fishing along the Loyalhanna Creek in Ligonier Twp, behind a popular restaurant had a very close encounter with a tall upright creature that was standing in the creek. The young man is an Iraqi war veteran who was wounded. He also suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and has difficulties sleeping at night. He spends most of his time at night fishing this popular area. During the late fall, winter and early spring months, the area is usually void of people. During the late spring and Summer months the area is a popular attraction for fishing, camping and young adults to gather and hang out. This particular night the area was void of other people and was very quiet. While fishing, he heard splashing in the water about 50 yards away. He looked down river and thought he saw another fisherman. He approached the figure and it quickly squatted down in the creek. As he got closer the creature rose again too its feet. The witness shone a dimly lit lantern flashlight device on the creature and it lifted its arm to block the light from its face. The creature turned and walked away into the brush. The witness described the creature as tall, thin and covered in dark brown matted hair. The witness said he did not feel threatened or frightened in any way, yet more intrigued.
(PBS Follow up Eric Altman, Dave Dragosin, Tim Cassidy and other Pa Bigfoot Society members met the man for breakfast to talk with him about his encounter. He told us that he was more frightened by events he witnessed in Iraq than he was of the creature. He also reported what he had seen too his fellow soldiers and his commanding officer. Being an honest and sincere man, his fellow soldiers believed him. I along with several members of the PBS that met with him felt he was honest and sincere in what he experienced while fishing that night. We were also told second hand of another sighting that took place a week later and a mile further down stream but were unable to follow up on it.) March 12 2007, Derry Township near New Alexandria late evening.
The PBS received a report from an 18 year old man. He informed us that on March 12, 2007 his father told him of a strange sound he had heard coming from the wooded area near his home. His father described the sound as that of a woman screaming. On March 13, 2007 the young man returned from a friends house at 11:30 pm. He was outside unloading the trunk of his car. He began to hear a strange sound coming from about 75 yards away in the woods near the driveway. He described the sound as being a very high pitch gibberish sounding vocalization. He listened too the sound momentarily before becoming too nervous and retreating too the safety of his parents home. He went on to say that four months prior, he heard a loud low guttural growl coming from almost the exact same spot. Upon receiving the report, we attempted to contact the witness to investigate however we did not receive any return replies from our attempt. Tim Cassidy, Eric and Joshua Altman spent several nights in the area. Nothing was heard, seen or discovered. The area does have a history of sightings close too this area and the property borders a state park.

October 21, 1999 5:30 PM Unity Township Report Courtesy of Stan Gordon
Three family members were driving down a rural two lane road near Pleasant Unity when they claim to have seen the creature. Dusk was approaching, but it was not dark enough for the usage of their headlights. The wife sitting in the passenger seat noticed the large figure first. About 40 feet ahead of them, crossing from the right side of the road, was a hair covered, manlike creature, with long arms extending below the knees. The wife stated that she had never seen anything move this quickly. The creature was stooped over, and its arms were swinging back and forth very quickly. As it crossed the road in three giant strides, it entered a wooded area. The creature never looked towards the approaching vehicle. It seemed intent on continuing on its path, so it was only observed from the side. No facial features could be determined. In its stooped position, the witnesses estimated that the creature was about 6 feet tall, but would have been much taller if it had stood erect. The hair which appeared to cover the entire body was smooth, and dark reddish brown in color. There did appear to be an area of longer bushy hair around the ankles and down towards the feet. The creature appeared to be very broad across the shoulders, (about 3 feet.) The most outstanding physical feature was the head. The head was described as very large, and it seemed to slope back into a cone shape. It was about 18 inches from the jaw to the peak of the head. The witnesses indicated that a neck was not apparent. There was neither odor nor sound detected during this observation. The husband stated "It seemed to be in a hurry. It looked human but it wasn't. What struck me was how very fast it was and how it crossed the road, and didn't hesitate to go into the woods on the other side. A human would probably hesitate and go looking for footing and watching their step, but this thing didn't."
October 1998 1130pm Apollo route 780 by Alcoa research center.
While driving home and rounded the bend to an intersection the witness saw what he took to be something over seven feet tall and dark in color run across the road. What he had seen in his headlights was from the waist down and it only took 3steps to cross the road. He returned in the morning and there were no tracks on neither side of the road because it was late October and the ground was frozen. He could see where it had crossed the field because it flattened the grass.

September 23, 2009 near Dunbar, PA late afternoon after 5:00 pm.
A mother and daughter were out for a drive on the back mountain roads, and passed a public gas line that has a beautiful view. So the mother and daughter decided to turn around further down the road and come back to the gas line to enjoy the view. They pulled over and got out of the car. they were looking down the gas line when they began to hear rustling in the brush on the left side of the gas line. Looking down the hill on the left, they expected to see a bear or deer come out of the thick brush line. Instead a large hair covered creature exited the brush line, walked across the gas well line from left to right and entered the forest on the right. The witnesses described the creature as large, covered in dark brown hair. Arms at its sides swinging as it walked. The creature never looked up the hill at the mother and daughter, but continued across the gas well line into the forest and dissapeared from sight. The women got back in the car, drove home to the mothers boy friend where she told him what happened and the three went back to the site. They did not see anything. That night, the witness contacted Bigfoot/UFO Researcher Stan Gordon.
PBS Investigation: A follow up investigation by Eric Altman, Dave and Cindy Dragosin met the witnesses and the witnesses boy friend who took them to the location. A search of the area led to some interesting possible evidence. On the left side of the gas well line where the women heard the rustling noise, Eric Altman discovered an area of trampled weeds and tall grass next to a black berry bush. Some type of animal was walking along the berry bush. The trampled grass led across the gas well line into the tree line on the right side. A large human shaped impression was found and cast. It measured 19 inches long by 7 inches wide. Several follow up investigations and trips to the area. Upon additional research it was learned that others in the area, and gas well line workers have claimed finding human like prints on the gas well, and hearing strange sounds and noises.

Late July 2009, near Dunbar at 8:30 A.M.
An elderly woman arrived at her property to inspect and feed several cats. As she walked from her driveway into the open yard, the woman claimed she came within 30 feet of two creatures eating wild blueberries from her blueberry bushes on the back side of her property. She stated the larger of the two stands well over 7 feet tall, while the smaller stands around 3 foot tall. She stated the smaller creature was the same color of a deer, very light brown in color and she first thought it was because it was bent over eating the berries. She made some noise, the smaller creature stood up, turned and looked at her and quickly ran off to the right into some very thick briars and bushes out of sight. As her attention was focused on the right where the smaller creature stood, she heard thrashing in the bushes to her left. Upon looking she saw a very tall, massive in size creature walking through the briars and bushes right towards her. The creature stopped at the edge of the yard, looking at her before turning and walkign back into the over grown briars, flailiing its arms as it forced its way through it. She watched the large dark colored creature for several minutes until it disspeared into the bushes and out of sight. The Pa Bigfoot Society was not contacted by the witness until over a month later and met with the witness at the beginning of September. Several PA Bigfoot Society members investigated including Eric Altman, Dave and Cindy Dragosin, Brian and Terrie Seech, Dave Rupert along with many independent researchers as well. The PA Bigfoot Society continued with the follow up investigation until late October. Between September and late October, the women claimed several other encounters, hearing sounds and two additional sightings on the property. The PA Bigfoot Society investigations did not produce any evidence of creatures being on the property. Game Cams were hung, Audio Recorders were set out and numerous over night observations were spent on the property. There were a few cases of strange sounds reported and possible eye shine, but nothing conclusive was experienced. (see the photos in the PBS photo page titled Late July Dunbar two creature sighting)
July 10, 2009 6:30 pm in North Uniontown leaving the city limits.
The report was orginally submitted to Sasquatch Watch of Virginia, who in turn forwarded the report to the PA Bigfoot Society for followup.
A woman driving on North Connellsville Street out of the city almost hits a creature that darted into the roadway. She was driving 40 miles an hour and saw a figure running towards the roadway from a middle school yard on her left. Feeling that it was a person or child going to run into the street and be hit, she slammed on her brakes and stopped at the curb on the right, in front of Right Aid Pharmacy. The creature continued running into the street and she got a good look at it's face. She stated it had a wild look on it's face, and covered from head to toe in hair. She was so close to the creature, she thought it was going to hit the front of the hood of her car. Instead it lept over the trunk of her car as she watched it in her rear view mirror. The creature continued into the right aid parking lot and onto a side street running down the street and eventually out of site. The incident was passed on from Billy Willard, director of SWOV to PA Bigfoot Society Eric Altman. Eric spoke with the witness on Sunday July 11 and arranged a face to face interview on July 16, 2009. The woman and her husband were met at the sighting location by PA Bigfoot Society members Eric Altman, Dave and Cindy Dragosin and Long time UFO/Bigfoot researcher Stan Gordon. All who interviewed the witness felt she was being sincere and telling the truth about her experience. She did not describe the creature as a "Bigfoot" but more as a "Werewolf" type creature. Eric, Stan, Dave and Cindy searched the wooded area behind the school and found no evidence. The only possible evidence was found was several scratch marks on the witnesses rear driver quarter pannel. What is odd, is the car was a brand new Ford 500 with not blemishes or body damage on it, except for what looked like to be an 8 inch wide 2 inch long set of fine scratches which looked as if something with coarse hair or a brush was brushed across the quarter pannel. Dave Dragosin sketched a composite based upon the witnesses description. The location of the woman's sighting and close encounter is only 3 1/2 miles from the base of the Chestnut Ridge mountain range and 5 miles from Jumonville Summit where there is a long history of Sighting reports. An article about the sighting made Cryptomundo and multiple media outlets including the newspaper article from the Uniontown Harold Standard Newspaper.

My sister said he thought it was a white man until he realized it was too tall and hairy. When she came out of the trailer she asked him what was wrong, because she could tell by the way he was walking and looking behind him something was wrong. He told her, I think I just saw a Sasquatch. He told her he knew the creature was watching him. Upon asking her sister if she looked to see if she could see it, she said, No, I just wanted to leave.

When suddenly something started moving towards them at a fast pace. This area was very dense with brush and rugged terrain which made it impossible for a human to be running at such a high speed. As it moved closer this creature made a sharp left following the noise with our eyes this animal ran across the line of vision to where we could see the fire. The only thing we were able to make out where to very large legs that bent at the knee, like a human running upright.

October 1984 mid morning Shickshinny mingle inn rd off us RT 11
Bow hunting with 2 friends on stand since daybreak and had all met up around 10 AM to discuss the morning and to plan our next move. We met on the main logging road we used to access the area and were noisily (laughing and joking) headed down the mountain after deciding to split up and work our way slowly back to the truck. While we were walking we came upon a very strong stench that hung in the air around us. It smelled of very strong intense human body odor.. We didn’t see or hear anything so we split up and started down the mountain. After going about 1/2 mile I was suddenly overwhelmed by the same stench again. No creature was sighted.

It was summer and a husband and wife were camping along the river bank. The tent was set up on the bank which was about 40 feet down to the river. The fire was between the tent and the river. They had cooked dinner and cleaned up the camp site storing their food securely and elevated. Not too long after dark, the husband heard a stick snap in the dark just outside the circle of light created by the fire. Whatever it was clearly was stalking them and could not or would not come closer than outside of the fire light. It was pacing from one side of the campsite to the other going in an arc of 180 degrees around them and stopping when it got to the edge of the drop off of the river bank. This went on for about 45 minutes until it broke a stick loud enough to have the wife notice the sound. He asked her if she had heard the stick break and she said yes. He told her that whatever was out there had been there for some time and I had not told her about it earlier because he did not want to frighten her. They went in their tent and tried to get to sleep. It was not ten minutes later that a scream was heard and the couple felt was directed at them. The sound was coming from approximately 50 yards away and was incredibly loud. The sound was blood curdling and had a resonance that could only have come from a very large animal. In the morning the husband spent about an hour looking for tracks, hair any physical evidence but the ground was very dry and there were no prints to be found.

November 5, 2007, 4:00 pm Derry Township
I received a phone call from Stan Gordon informing me of a report he had just received. He told me he was contacted by a family living in Derry Twp. that had discovered strange human like footprints near their home and that a famly member had a sighting of a gray colored creature the day prior. Members of the Pennsylvania Researchers Organization and PA Bigfoot Society, Denny and Colleen C. were dispatched to the area to meet the witnesses, take photos and hopefully cast the tracks. Unfortunately, enroute to the location, it began to thunderstorm and upon arriving, Denny and Colleen did see the impressions but the rain had filled the tracks leaving any details washed out. Fortunately the father of the witness was smart enough to cover the tracks with Styrofoam, although this did little good to preserve any details. Denny and Colleen found the witnesses to be very credible and took photos of the tracks. Denny and Stan returned the next day to further investigate the area for additional evidence, however found none.
May 4, 2007 Outside Latrobe PA early evening
several boys were riding their bmx bikes on a bike trail along the Loyallhanna creek about 4 miles from where the April sighting took place, just outside of the City of Latrobe. The boys were riding their bikes when one boy noticed a tall dark hair covered creature with broad shoulders, red eyes. The creature gave off an odor of rotten eggs. As the boys stopped too look at the creature, it appeared to move its lips and growl at the boys. The boys claim they saw the creature three more times that evening. They also stated this was not the first time the creature had been sighted in the area. After receiving the report, I attempted numerous times to contact the boys by email and by phone but no reply was returned. My son Joshua and I went too the area a few days later and hiked the area the boys described. We found no signs or evidence of the creature. I did speak with some fly fisherman who were in the creek fishing, and they told me they fish there almost daily and have never seen anything. The case remains listed as inconclusive unless further information surfaces.
April 22, 2007 3:00 AM Loyalhanna Creek Derry Township
A man fishing along the Loyalhanna Creek in Ligonier Twp, behind a popular restaurant had a very close encounter with a tall upright creature that was standing in the creek. The young man is an Iraqi war veteran who was wounded. He also suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and has difficulties sleeping at night. He spends most of his time at night fishing this popular area. During the late fall, winter and early spring months, the area is usually void of people. During the late spring and Summer months the area is a popular attraction for fishing, camping and young adults to gather and hang out. This particular night the area was void of other people and was very quiet. While fishing, he heard splashing in the water about 50 yards away. He looked down river and thought he saw another fisherman. He approached the figure and it quickly squatted down in the creek. As he got closer the creature rose again too its feet. The witness shone a dimly lit lantern flashlight device on the creature and it lifted its arm to block the light from its face. The creature turned and walked away into the brush. The witness described the creature as tall, thin and covered in dark brown matted hair. The witness said he did not feel threatened or frightened in any way, yet more intrigued.
(PBS Follow up Eric Altman, Dave Dragosin, Tim Cassidy and other Pa Bigfoot Society members met the man for breakfast to talk with him about his encounter. He told us that he was more frightened by events he witnessed in Iraq than he was of the creature. He also reported what he had seen too his fellow soldiers and his commanding officer. Being an honest and sincere man, his fellow soldiers believed him. I along with several members of the PBS that met with him felt he was honest and sincere in what he experienced while fishing that night. We were also told second hand of another sighting that took place a week later and a mile further down stream but were unable to follow up on it.) March 12 2007, Derry Township near New Alexandria late evening.
The PBS received a report from an 18 year old man. He informed us that on March 12, 2007 his father told him of a strange sound he had heard coming from the wooded area near his home. His father described the sound as that of a woman screaming. On March 13, 2007 the young man returned from a friends house at 11:30 pm. He was outside unloading the trunk of his car. He began to hear a strange sound coming from about 75 yards away in the woods near the driveway. He described the sound as being a very high pitch gibberish sounding vocalization. He listened too the sound momentarily before becoming too nervous and retreating too the safety of his parents home. He went on to say that four months prior, he heard a loud low guttural growl coming from almost the exact same spot. Upon receiving the report, we attempted to contact the witness to investigate however we did not receive any return replies from our attempt. Tim Cassidy, Eric and Joshua Altman spent several nights in the area. Nothing was heard, seen or discovered. The area does have a history of sightings close too this area and the property borders a state park.

October 21, 1999 5:30 PM Unity Township Report Courtesy of Stan Gordon
Three family members were driving down a rural two lane road near Pleasant Unity when they claim to have seen the creature. Dusk was approaching, but it was not dark enough for the usage of their headlights. The wife sitting in the passenger seat noticed the large figure first. About 40 feet ahead of them, crossing from the right side of the road, was a hair covered, manlike creature, with long arms extending below the knees. The wife stated that she had never seen anything move this quickly. The creature was stooped over, and its arms were swinging back and forth very quickly. As it crossed the road in three giant strides, it entered a wooded area. The creature never looked towards the approaching vehicle. It seemed intent on continuing on its path, so it was only observed from the side. No facial features could be determined. In its stooped position, the witnesses estimated that the creature was about 6 feet tall, but would have been much taller if it had stood erect. The hair which appeared to cover the entire body was smooth, and dark reddish brown in color. There did appear to be an area of longer bushy hair around the ankles and down towards the feet. The creature appeared to be very broad across the shoulders, (about 3 feet.) The most outstanding physical feature was the head. The head was described as very large, and it seemed to slope back into a cone shape. It was about 18 inches from the jaw to the peak of the head. The witnesses indicated that a neck was not apparent. There was neither odor nor sound detected during this observation. The husband stated "It seemed to be in a hurry. It looked human but it wasn't. What struck me was how very fast it was and how it crossed the road, and didn't hesitate to go into the woods on the other side. A human would probably hesitate and go looking for footing and watching their step, but this thing didn't."
While driving home and rounded the bend to an intersection the witness saw what he took to be something over seven feet tall and dark in color run across the road. What he had seen in his headlights was from the waist down and it only took 3steps to cross the road. He returned in the morning and there were no tracks on neither side of the road because it was late October and the ground was frozen. He could see where it had crossed the field because it flattened the grass.
A man and his friend hear strange baby like cries followed by a howl/moan coming from the woods behind their house.
While walking through wooded area with some friends, large detailed human like tracks were discovered in the snow. The witnesses contacted a UFO and Bigfoot researcher, but do not recall who they reported it to.
