January 2004 Between Osoyoos & Greenwood, British Columbia Class B #15419

Photographer is "escorted" out of the woods between Osoyoos & Greenwood

The witness drove to an abandoned homestead to take sunset photographs. While walking back to the truck through knee-deep snow he heard twigs snapping and footsteps running through thick woods alongside him. He ran to the truck, heard a deep elk-like grunt, and saw pines shaking with snow falling off as he left. He returned two weeks later and found snapped-off saplings.

12 October 1993 Nakusp, British Columbia Class B #17142

Possible vocalizations heard by swimmers near Nakusp. Possible tracks found the next day

Four people were walking back to their vehicle from an undeveloped hot spring late at night when something kept pace with them in dense brush. After a comment that it was probably a bear, a very loud wail came from the brush, followed by something running downhill on two legs. The group fled to the vehicle and agreed they had heard a sasquatch. The witness returned the next day and found large human-like tracks in mud.

Woman recalls multiple witness daylight sighting on Shawnigan Lake

BFRO YEAR: About 1979 British Columbia Class B #2446

Witnesses hear, smell, and feel something large moving & walking right next to them

Late at night in heavy fog, the witness's wife went to the outhouse and encountered something very close that she heard moving and smelled strongly, then fled back inside. The witness went outside with a gun and flashlight but could see nothing in the fog, though he heard bipedal footsteps, noticed a strong odor, and heard a low screeching sound toward a relative's home. The next morning he found a barbed-wire fence broken down with nails pulled out but found no tracks or hair.

Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia

A few days before the October chum opening, the guest and three others were anchored off Village Island when banging, chirping whistles and a strong stink were noticed. In the spotlight two upright creatures were seen on the beach, one larger in the grass and one smaller below, which crouched and covered their faces. Rifles were aimed but not fired, and the figures later left into the bush, with further eye-shine, scenting sounds, and a tree bent as one departed.

The second to last day that I was there British Columbia #740fbef8-c6a8-4c6a-b83d-04d7f457816b

Footsteps in British Columbia

On the second-to-last night of the expedition the witness slept outside by the campfire while companions slept in a nearby shelter. After waking around dawn he startled something behind him that jumped back and landed, then heard distinct bipedal footsteps walking beside his head. He kept still with eyes nearly closed trying to calm himself, then looked and found nothing there.
