Various incidents near a possible nest on Vancouver Island
A group of seven hikers were hiking on a mountain trail in the afternoon. They heard cackling, yelping, growling and moaning sounds and found the trail blocked by a large uprooted stump with placed boulders and smashed trees. Two upright figures, one black and one light brown and hairy, were seen moving parallel to the group and leaping down a cliff, while the group felt stalked and watched as they hurried out to the road.

The witness drove to an abandoned homestead to take sunset photographs. While walking back to the truck through knee-deep snow he heard twigs snapping and footsteps running through thick woods alongside him.

Possible vocalizations heard by swimmers near Nakusp. Possible tracks found the next day
Four people were walking back to their vehicle from an undeveloped hot spring late at night when something kept pace with them in dense brush. After a comment that it was probably a bear, a very loud wail came from the brush, followed by something running downhill on two legs. The group fled to the vehicle and agreed they had heard a sasquatch. The witness returned the next day and found large human-like tracks in mud.
Possible vocalizations heard in Lumby
In late summer 1986 two teenagers were on the deck of a house bordering wilderness when they heard a long, distant scream from behind the house.

He heard distant movement but saw nothing further, and they stayed awake most of the night.
Witnesses hear, smell, and feel something large moving & walking right next to them
Late at night in heavy fog, the witness's wife went to the outhouse and encountered something very close that she heard moving and smelled strongly, then fled back inside. The witness went outside with a gun and flashlight but could see nothing in the fog, though he heard bipedal footsteps, noticed a strong odor, and heard a low screeching sound toward a relative's home. The next morning he found a barbed-wire fence broken down with nails pulled out but found no tracks or hair.

Scream in British Columbia

Movement only in British Columbia
While fly fishing, the witness saw large brown movement between trees and then found very large flat-footed barefoot tracks with splayed gripping toes and a midfoot bend.
