The witness was taking a dog outside at night and felt watched after the dog stared and growled. After shining a flashlight in that direction, the witness saw two hairy bipedal figures cross a fence and then ran inside.

Neighboring Dogs Bark When Loud Vocalizations Heard
The witness reported hearing loud, piercing screams for about 22 minutes at night, starting with one screaming sound and later joined by a louder, longer second voice calling at regular intervals.

The dog owners later said the dogs were petrified and refused to go outside.

The witness was sleeping alone on a rock ledge above a drainage when she heard loud repetitive whooping and howling from far below.

Witness hears late night screams near Yreka
The witness was working on a bicycle on the back porch late at night when a low guttural growl/hoot was heard from an estimated 100 to 200 feet away between the residence and up the road. The sound lasted several seconds, rose in pitch, and did not resemble known local wildlife, while nearby dogs did not react. The witness retrieved a handgun and flashlight to search but found nothing unusual, with ground too dry to hold tracks.
Creature Seen Heading Down Towards the Lake.
The witness and a companion were sleeping outdoors at a lakeside camp when they woke during the night after hearing crunching footsteps. They sat up and watched a tall, dark-furred figure walk from nearby vegetation toward the lake, swinging its arms and covering long strides before moving away. The figure briefly turned its head toward them but did not stop. The next morning the witness searched the apparent route but found no tracks or other traces.
Campers observed by unknown animal
The witness and two companions were camped by a remote lake after dusk when they noticed amber eyes in the woods up the hill. After rocks were thrown, the animal stood and moved toward them on two legs, then circled their camp for about three hours while staying outside the firelight. The witness described it as 7 to 8 feet tall, agile on two legs, and curious rather than aggressive, and it left after fuel thrown on the fire made a flare. No tracks or other sign were found the next morning.

The relative also woke, and in the morning they found the camp in disarray with a dozen eggs missing, the empty carton later found away from camp, and a dent in the truck. No creature was seen and no tracks were found, and the pair stayed up until morning before leaving.
Campers have frightening experience in the Marble Mountains Wilderness
In summer 1977 the witness and a companion were backpacking and camped at a trail junction near a creek in forested mountain country. In the middle of the night they were awakened by loud crashing of logs and rocks being hurled in the streambed below. Bipedal footsteps then approached up the slope to behind nearby trees, with heavy breathing heard high in the air and a humph sound after the witness shouted, before the creature walked away parallel to the creek.
Sighting at East Boulder Lake
A camp counselor leading about two dozen children on a backcountry hike reported encountering an erect, reddish-brown hairy creature at close range on a ridge in daylight. The creature watched the group for about a minute, then fled upslope on two legs. That night at a lakeside camp the group reported a strong skunk-like odor, distant landslides, a small dim green light, snapping branches, and large shadowy figures moving among trees for about two hours. Activity reportedly ceased after two counselors left to seek medical help for an ill child.
Family has early evening sighting near Weed
The family was finishing work at their bee yard in the evening when the father noticed a man-like figure standing by a tall stump. A very loud yipping yell was heard twice, the family dog reacted fearfully, and nearby coyotes fell silent. The figure loped away with dangling arms and long, sure-footed strides, and comparison to the stump afterward led the father to estimate it at about nine feet tall.
Possible vocals heard by family camping near Happy Camp
A family camping in a primitive riverside area heard an extremely loud, shrill scream from near their trash area about 50 yards away after paper bags flared up the campfire. The sound moved rapidly downriver for several minutes, fading to a deep growl, while the adult dogs whimpered and the family became terrified. The father packed up camp that night and drove the family home, and the family later felt the sound matched a purported Sasquatch vocalization heard on television.
