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.

Couple witness a bipedal subject cross road. Later investigate area on their own and find a possible bedding area

On an August evening while rock hounding in Sunshine Valley, the witness, seated in a truck with a companion, saw a hairy bipedal figure about 200 yards ahead cross the road in a few unhurried steps without looking toward them. The figure was described as muscular yet slender with long arms and dark to reddish-brown hair. The forest had gone quiet beforehand, the witness was stunned and unable to speak, then left the area.

William Roe account -- Highway worker has lengthy sighting at close range & records much detail

The witness hiked to a deserted mine on a mountain in the afternoon and encountered an upright hair-covered female creature at close range. The creature approached, squatted to strip and eat leaves, noticed the witness, vocalized, and walked away into timber, later appearing briefly on a distant ridge. The witness considered shooting it for science but refrained, then examined droppings and a bedding spot.
