Sasquatch sighting near Pinawa, Manitoba (2007)

The witness was on a solo early-morning walk by a lake and causeway when she first mistook a large dark animal for a bear. It stood up and moved with unusual fluidity, grimaced and vocalized, then retreated toward the treeline while a larger concealed animal roared, snapped trees and shook vegetation. As she backed out between granite rock piles, she saw a massive auburn-haired arm pressed flat against the rocks close to her. She eventually left the area and became physically ill from fear and adrenaline.

Dogman sighting near Peru, Indiana (2007)

A small wet mouse then stood between the two men cleaning itself and showed no fear when nudged, after which both left for home.

Boy sees large creature peering at him from behind a tree next to Cypress Creek Wellfield

The initial report of something big was brushed off until similar local reports months later prompted detailed questioning.
