Horrible screaming vocalizations heard
The witness and companions were gathered around a large campfire after dinner when a companion asked for quiet. They then heard loud, repeated screaming from above the basin that the witness matched to a Bigfoot sound from a radio-show recording. After a few minutes they fired a shotgun twice, after which the sounds stopped and nothing was found.
Fourteen inch by six inch tracks found
The witness was day-hiking alone in a remote wilderness area when they noticed a strong sickly-sweet, garlic-like odor they could not source. In the same area they heard a screeching vocalization they did not recognize as bear, mountain lion, or raptor. They also found large footprints near where they had eaten lunch, measuring about 14 by 6 inches, which they felt were not bear tracks but could not positively identify due to hard rocky ground.
Sighting of a bigfoot by a miner
The witness was mining on a creek when movement caught attention. On standing, the witness saw a creature described as a Bigfoot peering from behind a tree about 60-75 yards away. The creature looked upstream toward the witness's companion, then leapt over rocks while staying low and disappeared. The witness slipped on mossy rocks while backing away, injuring an arm, then hurried up the trail.
Two sightings by locals from the town of Quincy

The writer later examined the photos and spoke with the witnesses and found them convincing.
Stalking of Forest Service worker on Pacific Crest Trail outside Quincy
While working alone to clear trail, the witness heard something moving parallel to him downslope for a couple of hours. The footfalls sounded clearly bipedal and the unseen mover easily kept pace through steep, brushy terrain. The witness never saw the source, noticing only moving saplings, and the sounds stopped about half an hour from his truck.
Night time sighting by motorist in Feather River Canyon near Hwy 70 & 89 intersection
Late at night the witness and a companion were driving north on Highway 70 when headlights revealed a large animal on all fours standing in the travel lane. The witness swerved into the other lane to avoid hitting it during a few seconds of viewing. The animal was described as horse-sized with dark medium-length fur, long legs, and a flat human-like face without a snout, lowering its head to peer into the passenger window as they passed.
