Various incidents near a possible nest on Vancouver Island

A group of seven hikers were hiking on a mountain trail in the afternoon. They heard cackling, yelping, growling and moaning sounds and found the trail blocked by a large uprooted stump with placed boulders and smashed trees. Two upright figures, one black and one light brown and hairy, were seen moving parallel to the group and leaping down a cliff, while the group felt stalked and watched as they hurried out to the road.

Two men on a canoe trip hear then see 8ft tall sasquatch at close range

The witness and a companion canoed to a remote shore of a lake for lunch when they heard growling and smelled a foul odor. They pushed through brush and saw a huge dark-furred biped about 20 feet away apparently feeding on a small animal. The creature stood to about 7-8 feet, looked at them, then grabbed its meal and ran off while the pair retreated to their canoes.

A water-taxi captain told the guest that his uncle was deer hunting across the pass when he smelled something and saw bushes and small trees shaking. Something big stood up and ran while pounding its chest like an African gorilla. The family concluded bush apes were in the area.

Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia

While clearing driftwood at the guest's kayak camp with workers and his sister present, small trees began shaking violently and a boulder rolled down. The guest then saw a large creature between two trees at close range that locked eyes and grimaced showing large teeth. The group fled by dinghy to the tour boat and left for a dock, later measuring the standing impressions at about seven feet four.
