Sasquatch sighting near Kern County (2007)

The witness and two companions went night fishing for catfish along the Kern River to avoid daytime heat. After hearing an extremely loud deep roar that caused physical fear, they saw a very tall black bipedal figure across the river that shoved a large live tree until it snapped. The figure then entered the deep fast river and moved toward them with apparent ease, prompting them to abandon their gear and flee by car.

Surveyor has daytime encounter in the Tehachapi Mtns near Frazier Park

The witness was driving slowly along a ridge-line dirt road during a boundary survey at midday when a black figure was spotted among trees. Initially mistaken for a stump and then a bear, the figure was judged too thin and tall to be a bear. As the vehicle closed to close range, the figure sprinted across the road on two legs and disappeared into trees.

A daylight sighting near Frazier Park, by a hiker

The witness was hiking with a companion in a pine forest and stopped for a break near a rocky outcropping above a ravine. From about 150 feet above, the witness watched a dark brown, upright, hair-covered figure moving slowly through heavy brush below. When the witness shouted to the companion, the figure looked up showing a human-like face, then left quickly through the brush before the companion could see it.

Possible nighttime road crossing sighting by motorist near Lamont

The witness and a companion were driving at night on a rural road through farmland when they saw a dark, hairy figure cross the road ahead of them. The figure moved quickly from one side to the other in long, smooth strides without looking toward the car and disappeared into a field. The witness turned back to look with bright lights but saw nothing, and a search the next day found no tracks because the ground was wet and muddy.

At noon, a young lady on horse back has a face-to-face encounter

When 14, the witness rode a horse on a family ranch near Tehachapi to the edge of a pine forest where a long-dead cow lay. There she saw a tall, black-haired, human-like figure leaning against a large tree, and they looked at each other for about a minute. Frightened, she turned back to the ranch and says she never returned to that area.
