While on a family day trip, the witness stopped at a scenic overlook to take photographs and heard loud snapping like trees breaking below.

The witness was working nights hauling fluid to a containment pond near the weapons range.

Sasquatch sighting near Fort McMurray, Alberta (2012)
The witness was driving a water truck north of Fort McMurray and stopped for caribou crossing.

Early morning sighting through binoculars while bird watching in Waterton National Park
The witness reports going to the Cameron Lake area at dawn to birdwatch and scanning a scree slope with optics.

The witness remained about an hour trying to see it leave but did not see it again.
Possible dusk sighting at Kananaskis campground
The witness was camping and skipping rocks by a river with a child and dog near sunset. The dog stared across the river and bristled, prompting the witness to look across.

The figure was estimated to be about 165 yards away and much larger and wider than a person.
Camper experiences possible aggressive night time display west of Bragg Creek
A solo camper spent the night on a plateau west of Bragg Creek during rain and thunderstorms. Through the night the camper heard log-banging, close movement, breathing, branch breaking, a tarp strike, a grunt, a boulder throw and a tree being pushed over, and glimpsed an upright figure walking downhill toward a creek. At dawn the camper heard loud bird-like calls from multiple directions, and found large grass impressions the next morning.
Strange screams frighten fly fisherman and cattle near Sundre
The witness camped alone and awoke around 6 a.m. He heard a high-pitched scream like a woman screaming from the south.

Two witnesses and possible double sighting in the Waiparous Creek Provincial Recreation Area
The witness and companions were riding off-road vehicles on a forest trail in early afternoon. The witness watched a dark single-colored upright figure across a creek for under a minute before it took two long smooth strides into dense woods to the east. After later discussion a companion reported simultaneously watching a second similar figure that left the trail to the west. No tracks were sought at the time because both initially assumed the figures were people.
Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain
The witness was driving toward Edmonton with a relative passenger in late morning drizzle when a chimp-sized brown animal emerged from roadside brush. It crossed open ground and the divided highway from right to left in front of the vehicle and disappeared into brush on the far side, observed in profile running on all fours. The witness emphasized folded hands rather than bear paws, a small head with no snout, no visible ears or tail, and speed greater than a bear cub, and questioned whether it could have been a young sasquatch.
Footprint found on the Siksika Nation Reserve near Cluny.
The witness says a relative called about a footprint in backyard mud. The witness went with a companion, observed a single barefoot-like left print in a small mud patch, recorded dimensions and notes, and made a plaster cast that broke but was glued back together. The witness did not claim the print was from a Sasquatch and noted it was odd to find a barefoot print in winter.
Oilfield Medical Responder's encounter approx 70km southwest of Grand Prairie
The witness stopped a medical unit on a remote road after a winded elk jumped in front of the vehicle.

Sighting by hunters south of Longview

Tourists recount their viewing of a biped walking up hill in Kananaskis Country
Two people walking near a hotel on a very cold January afternoon noticed a large dark figure moving steadily up a snow-covered hill in the distance.

Family hears ear piercing sream outside their cabin north of Westlock
The witness and two family members were settling to sleep in a recently purchased cabin late at night. A loud, shrill scream was heard from just outside the thin door.

Nothing else happened that night and no tracks were found the next day.
Big tracks with huge stride found
A family of five driving between Grand Prairie and Tumbler Ridge stopped on Boot Lake Road and found large barefoot human-like footprints in snow in a roadside ditch. About eight prints were clear, with a ninth leading into brush where willows were bent and broken. They estimated the size and stride but did not follow or photograph them because the children were frightened.
