Daylight sighting by guide and two tourists at Lake Shasta Caverns

The witness, a tour guide, was waiting at the mountain-top cavern entrance with two tourists for the return bus on a cloudy day. They heard repeated thumping and noticed treetops moving along a ravine about 200 yards away, then briefly watched a huge bipedal figure with swinging arms run downhill toward the lake and disappear while footfalls remained audible. The witness radioed for the bus and left with the group, later quitting the job to avoid being alone on the mountain.

Man had deer stolen by creature near Lakehead

A homeowner had shot a deer and hung it in a tree behind the house. That night while going to let dogs out, he heard an unfamiliar scream and saw a large ape-like creature in the yard. The creature seized the deer and fled into the forest, tearing out a stretch of barbed-wire fence and leaving hair and tracks. A friend visiting the next day was shown where it stood and ran, including the tracks and hair.

Two Young Fishermen Have Mid-day Encounter at Lake Shasta

The witness was walking back toward a lakeside cove after dropping his sister at a dock when he heard footsteps and saw a large hair-covered figure approach to within a few feet. He and his cousin jumped into the lake and watched from the water as the figure stood watching them before running rapidly up a steep brush-covered hill and disappearing. People arriving from a nearby hilltop cabin later said such creatures visited their cabin occasionally.
