Two fishermen describe daylight sighting 10 miles south of Mountain View

The witness and a companion were wade fishing in an isolated creek when they noticed a beaver-like shape in deeper water upstream. After the witness made noise, the animal swam to the bank and rose up standing upright in chest-deep water, revealing reddish fur and long massive arms, then stared briefly before climbing a steep erosion bank with a small tree, uprooting the tree. The pair heard it crashing away through thickets and immediately left the area.

Twist near Big Bear City, California (2017)

Later the same day the pair hiked deep into the forest, first noting twisted broken branches pointed toward the trail. On a thicker, darker return trail they heard bipedal footsteps on both sides, a whistle, a deep vocal sound, and smelled a foul odor while the woods stayed silent. After reaching a logging clearing with empty cabins, they turned to see the back of a tall dark-haired biped before hurrying to a paved road where workers directed them out.

Group of fisherman with a possible sighting of whitish/grey creature outside Neosho Falls

Three companions were night fishing from a bridge when the witness exchanged whoop calls with something across a field that steadily approached. After packing gear and waiting by a truck with lights on, they heard footsteps in a ditch and briefly saw only the whitish-grey top of a head. The entity then gave a loud whoop from about 20 yards away, prompting them to flee, and daylight examination the next day suggested it was over seven feet tall.
