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.

June 2004 Kamloops, British Columbia Class B #9654

Various incidents around Paul Lake Provincial Park outside Kamloops

The witness was hiking back toward the day-use lot in light rain after walking to the west end of the lake with a companion. After scuffing a foot on gravel, the witness heard a loud grunt and a large branch snap uphill, then saw a large reddish-brown hairy form crouched by a fallen tree about 40-50 ft away, partly hidden by undergrowth. The form stood, held an arm across the face area, looked back once, and left quickly and silently upright without dropping to all fours.

Possible daylight sighting by hikers on the Stanley Glacier Trail (BC/Alberta border)

A group of six hiked down a mountain trail in the afternoon. A hair-covered biped crossed the trail between the lead hiker and the next person and leapt down an embankment into trees. The party glimpsed movement and heard crashing as a dog chased it, then watched a distant burnt tree sway with creaking before falling. Believing the creature pushed the tree over, the group left quickly.

Hikers spot a 9-10 foot tall black creature, and find a possible resting place of the creature

Two people hiking a mountain trail in the morning reported seeing the back of a large black animal. They estimated its height from where its back had touched a tree branch. They also reported a wet-dog-like odor, a trail made by the animal, and a bed of leaves under cedar trees.

Summer 1983 British Columbia Class B #2423

Hikers are followed by a 8-10 foot tall black creature, later that night they heard a series of roars

In summer 1983 a camp leader took an assistant and nine boys on an overnight hike on Tet Ridge. During the afternoon hike they repeatedly glimpsed a large black figure at a distance and found very large tracks and broken branches high above the ground. That night at a near-summit camp the group heard multiple loud roars and stayed awake by the fire, also hearing movement below. They found no further sign on the hike out and agreed not to tell others.

December 1980 Rossland, British Columbia Class A #14511

Sighting by snowmobilers outside Castlegar

Near Christmas 1980 the witness was riding a snowmobile with a relative on a forest trail at night when they got stuck. Both smelled a strong rotten-meat odor and then the witness saw a fur-covered bipedal figure about six feet tall run across the trail into the bush. The witness found a large bare footprint where it crossed and bipedal steps through deep powder snow. A parent who arrived later saw the remaining marks and told the witness the figure was a sasquatch.

Rock throwing near Boston Bar, British Columbia

The witness and a friend camped overnight on a logging landing while picking up equipment. At night something threw rocks at them, then after a warning shot it made a very loud scream and crashed through trees. The next morning a healthy tree blocked the road and they saw two large hairy bipeds watching from a treeline before leaving.

Sasquatch sighting near Boston Bar, British Columbia

The first guest's friend was asleep in his house on the reservation with the window open on a hot night. He woke to loud breathing outside, saw a large beast standing at the end of the backyard by the mountains, grabbed a rifle and turned on a light, after which it was gone. The next day he and his brother returned with guns and found three large footprints in the backyard.
