Sasquatch sighting near Carmel, California (1989)

A British businesswoman on a work trip to California spent a Saturday afternoon photographing sea otters on a beach south of Carmel. She watched six large hairy bipedal creatures enter the cove, with the largest male pulling seaweed from the water for the females to chew and rub on themselves. When a camera part clattered on rocks the male charged, argued vocally with a female, then screamed, slammed its fists and urinated before the witness blacked out. She later woke bruised near her car with her jacket pulled over her head and reported the incident to hotel staff and police, who told her she had seen bears.

Cryptid sighting (1960)

A family bought an old homestead where the son repeatedly said little people bothered him in the forest, horses refused the barn, and the barn smelled foul. One evening during dinner the son pointed to a bay window and the father saw a three-foot-tall hairy human-like being by an outdoor spigot apparently chattering to others below. It made eye contact, widened its eyes, leaned back, and dropped from view. The father later found a rock-covered hole in the barn opening to caverns with strong odor, and a neighbor warned that dwarves lived under the old ruined house.
