Sasquatch sighting near Casadero, California (2010)
The witness was living on a church retreat property and clearing fallen redwood limbs in the morning. He looked up from the ground to see a tall, rusty-brown, shaggy-haired figure standing on a mound only a few feet away looking down at him. He avoided further contact, walked back to his cabin, and later concluded unusual bird-like whistles were the group communicating. He never saw the figure or heard those sounds again.
Nighttime sighting (in headlights) by law enforcement officer on patrol near Cloverdale
The witness, on patrol driving west on Highway 128 outside Cloverdale, first noticed movement and eye reflection in brush along a ravine. After backing up, the witness observed a tall, brown-furred bipedal figure walking away through overgrowth, pushing branches aside with its arm. The witness then stopped and listened for several minutes as slow crunching sounds receded toward a creek area.
Man sees creature crossing road near Petaluma
The witness was traveling by car at night with a companion when a large bipedal figure appeared in the middle of the road. The figure reportedly paused to look at the witness's car and an oncoming car, then ran across the road. It cleared a five-foot barbed-wire fence without using its arms and ran uphill out of sight.
Daylight Sighting by Hikers Near Bennett Mountain
The witness and two companions were hiking toward Bennett Peak and stopped to rest before a large climb. They heard loud snapping and cracking of limbs across a valley and saw a large hairy back moving very fast uphill through brush, clearing foliage out of its way. Afterward they visited the spot and found broken branches several feet above the ground.
Couple hear late night scream near Fort Ross
While bicycle-camping overnight at Fort Ross, the witness and a companion were awakened around 1 a.m. by an extremely loud, prolonged scream very close to their tent. They stayed frozen in the tent listening for about an hour, and later heard a similar scream from farther away near the lower parking area. They did not see the source and did not look for tracks the next morning.

At a youth camp at night, the witness was inside a dorm getting ready for bed when campers in another dorm shouted about someone outside.

The next morning a discarded box was found on the ground with large footprints nearby.
