Possible intimidation in the late afternoon reported by hikers in the Big Tujunga Canyon area
Two hikers returning up a dry creek bed in late afternoon smelled a strong foul odor and noticed a dead squirrel placed over a boot print. From a short distance away they heard loud banging like wood striking trees, saw treetops swaying, then heard very loud groaning and screaming vocalizations. The sounds paused while they walked away and resumed when they stopped, until they left the area.
Man remembers sighting while driving on a lonely dark two-lane road near Gorman
Two companions driving west at night on a desert highway saw a tall, thin figure covered in hanging hair jogging beside the road to their right. The view lasted less than ten seconds at about 20 to 30 feet, and no facial features were seen. Both occupants were frightened and drove on without stopping for proof.
Sasquatch sighting near Green Valley, California (1980)
Two teenagers were camping for a week in mountainous pine forest to train for military service. On the second evening at dusk while walking armed along a dirt road, they encountered a very tall dark-haired bipedal figure standing on the road watching them. After a brief staredown the figure turned and walked unhurried into the forest with heavy breaking-branch footsteps, and the next day large footprints were found leading away across a creek.
Possible tracks found in snow and mud on family property many years ago near Lake Hughes
Four deer hunters stopped at a relative's ranch for lunch and fed hogs when horses in a back pasture became highly agitated for about 30 minutes. They found very large, deep tracks circling the pasture with a strong wet-dog and rotten-egg odor still present. They followed the bipedal trackway to a very steep hill where the steps ascended out of reach, tried and failed to replicate the stride and step-up, then left without ever seeing the maker.
Varmint hunter has a night encounter with a large animal
While night hunting with a dying-rabbit call, the witness heard extremely loud, threatening screams from an unseen animal on a ridge. The animal screamed three times while moving to get downwind of the witness. The witness used a powerful hunting light and reported catching its glowing eyes, and described being truly frightened.
One of three incidents in a restricted area
The witness and a companion were walking back to their car after fishing in darkness when they heard footsteps moving ahead of them. The steps paused when they paused and resumed when they moved, stopping again in a clearing. When they called out, the unseen source turned and ran rapidly through dense brush.
Two young men have a face to face encounter
The witness and his cousin heard noises outside the house for about 20 minutes and went into the backyard with a flashlight. They saw a tall hair-covered figure standing just beyond a six-foot fence staring at them. After a few seconds they ran back inside frightened. The next morning they found two deep impressions in the sandy soil beyond the fence.
Early 70's, Sighting by a deer hunter, off of Highway # 2, in the San Grabriel Mountains
Two hunting companions in a steep canyon area reported watching a brown figure about 700 yards away across the canyon. The figure reportedly stood up and walked on two legs uphill with a slumped posture for about five to six seconds before going out of sight, at one point possibly dropping to all fours on steeper ground. The witnesses first thought it was a person or a bear but felt its walk looked too odd for either. The encounter is said to have occurred on a clear warm afternoon in the fall in the early 1970s.

Possible growling at hikers near the San Gabriel Wilderness
About 15 years before reporting, the witness and a friend paused at a saddle near Smith Mountain while hiking. They heard a very low growl/snuffling sound from tall bushes nearby that they could not see through. Frightened, they left quickly without investigating, and the witness later wondered about the source after seeing nearby reports.
