Tall human-like form seen at Chilliwack Lake Provencial Park

Around midday in May 2001, the witness was driving toward Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park to check camp sites when they saw a large black human-like figure walking upright along the treeline about 200 meters ahead. The figure turned 90 degrees into the woods at high speed without looking at the witness, and the witness stopped and followed on foot for about an hour. The witness found only broken branches, bent grass and unusual silence, and estimated the figure's height at over seven feet by comparing to a branch at its head level.

Sasquatch sighting in Georgia (2001)

The witness, a Marine designated marksman, was ordered to kill an aggressive animal near Lake D on a Navy base on the Georgia-Florida border. After hearing a splash and seeing a branch thrown into the water one evening, he returned the next evening and watched a tall, long-haired biped cross a road about 40 yards away. He shot it twice, and it collapsed and died. Superiors and two men in a white car secured the body, told him to stay in place and later to forget the incident, and no written statement was ever taken.

While conducting sound survey project, two team members see Bigfoot

A team of four was conducting a nighttime sound survey from a clear-cut overlooking a river valley while one member did a live radio interview from a parked vehicle near the treeline. The interviewer heard repeated charging sounds, footfalls and a grunt-growl from dense brush a few feet away while two teammates uphill watched with a night-vision device. The uphill observers reported a huge 8-foot-plus figure about 25 feet away leaning side to side to look through the trees and moving its arms. The episode lasted about 30 minutes, followed later by a distant scream, and a next-day search found disturbed soil but no footprints.

Motorists have up close sighting of a hairy creature. Description of legs is particularly interesting - birdlike?

Shortly after midnight the witness and a companion were driving toward a casino when they saw a small bipedal creature standing in the opposite lane. They passed within a few feet while it stood still facing them, noting short dark hair, a human-like face, short tucked arms, and sharply angled bird-like legs. They returned after daybreak to look for tracks but found none because the ground was hard.
