Nevada's Top Five Bigfoot Sightings: Share Your Own Encounters!

Nevada, with its vast deserts, rugged mountain ranges, and remote wilderness areas, is home to a variety of mysterious creatures. Despite its arid reputation, the state is nearly 15% forested, creating the perfect conditions for these elusive beings. While Nevada is more commonly associated with UFO sightings and desert legends, accounts of large hairy creatures roaming its forests and mountains go back centuries. The YouTube channel Campfire Creepers - Stories Stranger Than Fiction has compiled a list of Nevada's top five most compelling Bigfoot sightings, and I'm excited to share them with you. These stories, submitted by witnesses and researchers, offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of Sasquatch in the Silver State. Starting with number five, the Desert Walker of Pyramid Lake, two night fishermen reported seeing a large bipedal figure walking along the shoreline in the Moonlight in November 2020. The figure, estimated to be at least 8 ft tall, moved silently and with surprising speed before disappearing into a rock formation. Coming in at number four, the Humboldt Sasquatch, three campers along a remote trail in the Ruby Mountains reported hearing loud knocking sounds in the trees, followed by deep guttural growls. Shortly afterward, they saw a tall shadowy figure covered in dark fur standing just beyond their firelight. At number three, the Sierra Nevada Stalker, a backcountry skier near Mount Rose Wilderness had a bizarre encounter while skiing through an isolated snow-covered trail in March 2021. He noticed a dark figure moving parallel to him in the trees, which stood upright and continued walking on two legs. Number two, the Spring Mountains Giant, a group of hikers near Mount Charleston had a chilling encounter as they reached a remote lookout point in September 2022. They noticed a large upright figure moving among the trees, which suddenly dropped to all fours and disappeared into the brush with unnatural speed. Finally, our number one pick, the Garbage Canyon Encounter, a group of six campers on a multi-day trek had a terrifying encounter as they set up camp near Garbage Canyon in May 2023. They heard deep resonant vocalizations echoing through the valley and later noticed a massive humanoid figure standing at the edge of their campsite. Nevada's vast wilderness and low population density make it an ideal location for Sasquatch to thrive.
