Eyeshine near Tuolumne County

The witness and his father camped to build blinds and saw three sets of tall red eyeshine outside the fire circle that dimmed when lit. Later something struck their truck camper hard enough to knock items off shelves, then a loud woman-like scream sounded nearby with an answering scream where the eyes had been, followed by movement around the camper all night.

Sasquatch sighting in California

Five nights after the intense night encounter, the witness returned with companions and a borrowed night vision scope. From a parked position in a clearcut, he and a friend took turns watching a large upright figure at the treeline edge for 20 to 25 minutes. Low scope quality prevented detail, but shape and breadth convinced them it was not a bear.

While far offshore, the crew heard excited radio traffic from other boats and then saw a blue ball of light travel across the sky lighting the horizon. It moved from the east past Mendocino and Sonoma out to the Farallones where other fishermen said it entered the water still glowing. The guest could not tell if it was natural or crafted.

Sasquatch sighting in California

The witness was working alone overnight operating noisy machinery at a mountain job site in the rain. He heard impacts on a metal container, then saw a dark upright figure by the trees that crept toward him as rocks were thrown. He fled to his car, struggled to open a locked gate, then faced a much larger red-eyed figure that snapped a branch, vocalized loudly, and bluff-charged. He escaped in his car with damage to the vehicle.

Sasquatch sighting in California

The witness took two daughters for an evening hike on a trail near home where large trees blocked the path. The youngest daughter froze after seeing movement, and the witness ran forward to see a large hairy human-like figure by a tree staring at them. After a tense standoff with rocking motion, the group backed away and returned to the car. The middle daughter had recorded video, and later visits found large bare footprints where the figures had been.
