Possible stalking on the Concho River outside San Angelo

The witness and his two sons were fishing by a river at dusk when heavy footsteps approached through dense brush and birds flushed from the trees. The witness shouted and waved his arms at the fence line where the sounds stopped but could see only shadows, later seeing a large shadow through the fence that dwarfed his own stature. After retrieving a dropped pole and returning to the truck, the witness heard something rush toward them, shone headlights toward the trees, and the group left as it retreated.

August 2006 Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia EP 1207

Sasquatch sighting near Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (2006)

The witness was dropped by helicopter on a mountain top to troubleshoot a seismic line and hiked down alongside a large scree field. Hearing steady rock-rolling sounds, he approached quietly and watched a slender hairy female and two small juveniles foraging among rocks and putting items in their mouths. A much larger female then emerged and caught a small rodent, which a huge male rushed out to snatch and eat. After the animals stood and scanned the treeline while sniffing deeply, the witness radioed a bear alert, a helicopter buzzed the area scattering the group, and he returned to the helipad where the pilot said others had reported similar encounters.
