New Mexico
2005 Colfax County, New Mexico Sunday January 30, 2005
Angel Fire Ski lift: Footprints were sighted by a older married couple who saw tracks from a ski lift. The tracks trailed off into the line of trees to their right. The trail of tracks they said were made in fresh powder, approximately 15 inches deep on top of a snow pack near the main summit. The informants said the trail was fresh, not kicked-up snow, but a straight line of tracks from one side of the ski lift to the other on their first early morning ski-lift ride up the mountain. The tracks went directly under the lift, which they estimated to be at the 10,000-foot elevation level and in deep snow. The weather was brisk but clear and not snowing at the time. The woman said she was of Ashiwi Indian and Spanish heritage and her maternal great-grandmother, whose parents were inhabitants of the Shiwona territory in what is now New Mexico first warned her of the Great Atahsaia when she was very young. They believed Atahsaia is a bad spirit hair-covered cannibal giant that kidnaps little children and women, taking them away to the great Spirit Mountain. Today the informant called the creature bigfoot, admonishing as she talked that "bigfoot was not to be tracked down or hunted, it is a bad omen of things to come." Filed Tuesday February 1, 2005.
Texas
5 January 2005 Hudspeth County, Texas Thursday January 6, 2005 1:30 a.m.Amos Washington reports while driving his 18-wheel rig through Texas north of Interstate 10 and east of the Ft. Bliss Military area about 3 miles eastbound out of Butterfield Texas on hwy 62 he had to gear down to allow a loping barefoot thing to cross the road. It appeared in his headlights suddenly, crossing from the Southside of the road to the north in an odd swaggering manner. I dont know for sure what I seen Washington said by telephone, the sight of this thing challenged anything I know about -- it wasnt something a person can imagine. It was slumped some, naked, hair covered and light brown to white on its shoulders. My headlights could have played a part in the color I was seeing, but it was light colored. It was covered with hair or if it was a man, which I doubt, it was wearing a fur like costume out in the middle of nowhere. I didnt notice other features, just that this thing was odd and walked like a man walks upright, but bare-footed in cold weather, long legged and all, then it disappeared into the darkness; their eyesight must be better than mine because it was moonless black as pitch out there in the scrub. So there I was sitting in the cab of my rig thinking I was finally losing my marbles. It was not a wetback either theyre too short. This thing was big and howdy! It never looked directly at my rig either, which makes a considerable amount of noise when gearing down. During the interview, Washington stated he had heard about bigfoot but never paid much attention to the phenomenon until now. He lived in El Paso for 30 years, was a truck driver most his life and had once overheard a conversation in a restaurant back some twenty years ago between two men in the booth behind him who claimed they saw a bigfoot creature just outside Ruidoso, New Mexico. I heard them claim it was black and over 8 feet tall and I have heard other stories told by the Mescalero Apaches up there in the White and the Sacramento Mountains in NM of these things in those mountains but never down here by the border or in the El Paso County area.

2005 Del Norte County, January 7:30 am
A traveling salesman reported he saw tracks that "seemed to walk with great leaps" into and through Patrick Creek Campground 3 weeks ago in a dusting of snow on the north side. He said he was driving along hwy 199 and stopped to read the board there at the entrance to Patrick Creek Campground, which is north of the town of Gasquet, CA. When he finished perusing the board, he stayed for a few minutes to take a leak, and then enjoyed the tranquility and the cold breeze blowing when he noticed the tracks. The informant said he didn't go into the campground, but at first observed the tracks from a distance at the entrance board then realized they must have come from across 199 and go into and through the grounds of the park. The campground was closed and he was in a hurry to drive onto Cave Junction across the state line in Oregon for an appointment. But he said even with the distortion in the snow, the tracks were a good deal larger than his size 11 boot and the length between footprints stretched beyond his own capability. It was a single line of tracks, one creature. No other information no camera with informant.
2002 June, nearby Gasquet, California, a couple opening up their cabin for the summer, taking stuff to the house from the trunk of their car - - back and forth to their trash barrel, watched a sasquatch standing in the middle of their driveway watching them. They froze, just looking at each other, then went back into the house but didn't know what to do. The phone was not connected and they were not armed. "We heard they were around these parts for years, but never seen one before this," he told the investigator. "We don't know what it was doing there, but when we got nerve to look out again, it was gone anyway. It was dark brown to black and very tall with shoulder bulk. I guess they do exist." Several 15 inch tracks were found in the dirt.
April 2001 a large sasquatch described as like the Patterson film creature crossed the road near the town of Etna, California around 11 o'clock Thursday night with a smaller sasquatch in tow. The informants said the creatures were clear in their highbeam headlights and did not look at their on coming car. They both were quite black in color and in a hurry crossing in a southerly direction. The larger one seemed larger than what the informants saw in the Patterson film, but witnesses claimed it could have been their imagination, stating they only saw the Patterson film once on television but felt it was the same kind of upright walking "something."
1999 On the morning of May 9, a 25-year old woman known in the area as a volunteer firefighter said she saw an 8-foot tall Bigfoot apparently trying to catch fish in Ewing Reservoir, north of Hayfork. The woman said she got within about 70 feet before the creature saw her and disappeared into the woods. "Her story sounds pretty credible," according to the late Bob Everett
1999 - October, a man named Tim Ford from Redding, California was camping with family and friends in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest when he reportedly spotted a Bigfoot. His sighting attracted statewide attention when he reported it to the Department of Fish and Game. (Investigated by Bob Everett for Bigfoot Encounters)
May 18, 1999 a man spotted a huge hairy creature crossing a dirt road between Hayfork and Hyampon, two small towns on Hayfork Creek in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Bob Everett stated this was the third bigfoot report in recent days.
Oregon
5 July 2000 - Oregon Caves, Oregon. Update: Oregon Caves hiker actually encountered a black bear, investigators now say.
1 July 2000 - Oregon Caves, Oregon. At 8:10 am Matthew Johnson phoned Bobbie Short to say he thought he saw bigfoot while hiking the upper trail with his family near the Oregon Caves National Monument. Informant was squatting to relieve himself, and is quoted as saying he was unable to describe what he saw, stating clearly and calmly that whatever it was moved from behind one tree to another too fast to tell if it had hair or fur. The informant stated his decision to contact the press to publicize the creature's existence as if the world was unaware. Since that recorded telephone conversation, Johnson's testimony changed dramatically becoming significantly embellished once he contacted and aligned himself with Matt Moneymaker of the BFRO for mutual publicity purposes; the frills and flourishes leaves this account suspect.
18 May 2000 - Grants Pass, Ore. A motorcyclist reports seeing Bigfoot. 7 May 2000 - Troutdale, Ore. Campers find a set of tracks in the wilderness.
Louisiana
Summer 2000 - Current ongoing discussions and investigations of Bigfoot sightings in and around Pineville, Louisiana near Toledo Bend Lake.
Summer 2005 - James "Big J" Smithers bass fishing in his favorite cove on Toledo Bend Lake spotted something on the shore that was sitting under a tree. The figure was dark, covered in black hair. Smithers said "I think it was watching us fish, but I'm not sure what it was doing." There was another boat with an older couple crappie fishing, they pointed to it and nodded that they saw it too. Smithers thought it might be a joke, but it was very hot on the lake that weekend and "a clown in a gorilla costume would be overcome by the heat inside that thing." They decided to tell Fish and Game.
