Officers repeatedly responded to a woman's reports of someone on her roof. On a winter night the witness checked the house perimeter in snow and saw isolated footprint-like marks on the peak of the roof with no apparent access path. He did not tell the resident what he saw and advised her to call again if noises recurred.

Sasquatch sighting in California

The witness was working alone overnight operating noisy machinery at a mountain job site in the rain. He heard impacts on a metal container, then saw a dark upright figure by the trees that crept toward him as rocks were thrown. He fled to his car, struggled to open a locked gate, then faced a much larger red-eyed figure that snapped a branch, vocalized loudly, and bluff-charged. He escaped in his car with damage to the vehicle.

Growl in Alberta

While descending a mountain trail alone after climbing with companions, the rider stopped for unknown reasons and heard loud growling nearby that the mind reinterpreted as water. The rider felt suddenly hot and euphoric and began removing clothing despite cold wet weather until companions arriving and splashing through water broke the state. Later on the same ride the group found very large fresh human-like footprints without claws in untouched mud.

The guest received an email from a woman whose husband had been missing for about a week after going camping to look for Sasquatch. With a friend he found the man's truck with doors open and windshield and hood caved in, a destroyed campsite with scattered food and gear, and varied large footprints. Following a heavy blood smear they recovered an empty rifle and sidearm and found body parts spread over many miles, including a torso with wide claw-like gashes, before authorities arrived and news reports blamed wolves.
