Chicken pens being raided by unknown thief near Nevada City
A neighbor's chicken coop was raided at night and the birds were taken whole with no remains left. The witness, who also keeps birds, visited the coop to learn how to reinforce their own enclosure and found wire mesh bent and compressed in a way they felt required great strength. The witness collected hair samples from the scene for analysis, which were later reported to be mountain lion hair.
Hikers find nest-like structure in dense forest north of Monroe
Two companions hiked in a dense second-growth gorge to look around the landowner's property. They found a concealed woven tunnel of undergrowth leading to a domed chamber and entered it but found no evidence or odor. Both felt suddenly spooked without seeing or hearing anything and left quickly, and bad weather prevented a return.
Hikers find footprint in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park
While hiking a trail with a companion to look for the source of prior night sounds, the witness found a single fresh barefoot-like print beside the trail. The witness compared it to a shoe, tried to duplicate the depth, took video and outlined it with sticks for photos, then left quickly as it grew dark. The area also had large fallen-tree formations and abundant deer tracks.
BFRO Investigators detail activity around Twain Harte
Investigators found fresh broken trees, dozens of footprints and two nests where a trail crossed a road and staked out the spot. No creature was seen, but something large moving on two feet approached the stakeout before fleeing downhill through brush when a car passed. The sign was documented the next day with footprint and tree-break measurements and a body-length impression in one nest.

On the night of October 28, 2000 the witness was hosting an adult-only backyard barbecue party with about a dozen guests. Around 10 p.m. the group heard loud unidentified sounds from the woods near the back of the property and heard heavy footsteps breaking branches that sounded bipedal.

Possible sasquatch seen by farmer near Hwy 21 outside Kenton, Manitoba
The witness was hauling bales by tractor toward a relative's farmyard in the late afternoon when a tall dark figure was seen walking and crossing the road ahead.

Strange calls and other possible bigfoot related activity experienced by investigators.
The witness found the remains of a shot and dumped hound at a town dump with soft tissue removed, chest ligaments stretched upward, skin peeled back, and no teeth marks on bones. A dark greasy foul-smelling spot lay inches away on hard ground. The witness inferred human-like hands were needed to open the chest and suspected a sasquatch was responsible.
Witnesses heard what they described as a "roaring scream"
Two people fishing from a dock in the evening heard a powerful roaring scream from the west along the lake. About half a minute later a fisherman came running from the direction of the sound, appearing panicked. The two joined him and all three ran together back to the nearby campground, where he said something had been right next to him. They then broke camp and drove home.
Trout fishermen encounter unnerving sounds & rock throwing in Joccasee Gorge
Three college roommates hiked to the Thompson River to fish and camp overnight. After dark they repeatedly heard a childlike crying sound from a nearby ridge, had small river stones tossed into camp, and later heard loud knocks alternating with the cries. At daylight they hiked out, noticing concentrated scat and disturbed ground near oak trees, and concluded the activity was not from a person.
Hikers find tracks and a possible nest
Two people backpacking found several large fresh bipedal footprints on a steep forest slope. One track was measured at 16 inches long, with a stride over four feet that was difficult to replicate on the slope. They followed the tracks uphill to a large volcano-shaped nest of pine needles and photographed the track and nest.
Hunters find possible indications of habitation outside Hope
Three people hunting in the early morning reached a frost-covered hilltop clearing. They found a shredded shrub with branches piled like bedding, numerous freshly dug holes, and a stump holding freshly picked plants, all without frost. They inferred something had been there just before them and left as they approached.
Gold prospector has evening encounter with sasquatch
The witness and a companion were camped overnight while prospecting. About an hour after dark they heard a loud minute-long scream that shifted in pitch and direction and seemed to originate just outside the camp light. They did not see the source, which then left quietly. The next day they noted apparent bedding under a collapsed cabin roof and an odd-shaped impression in a creek sandbar.
Hunters find bower and footprints near lake
While deer hunting, the witness found a large hut-like structure of limbs and brush with a dug-out dirt floor that was dry inside.

Man sees unusual stacked rocks in Yosemite
The witness was running alone across a remote talus slope in Yosemite National Park. He found pits where large angular granite blocks had been lifted out and stacked in neat piles several feet high. He examined the feature only briefly and saw no animal, but thought of Sasquatch rock-stacking accounts he had read as a child.
Family retells documenting a possible mile-long line of tracks north of Yankeetown
The witness's family discovered a long trail of large footprints on their hunting property on a winter weekend in 1991. They followed the trail for over a mile past creeks and cabins and through a barbed-wire fence, making plaster casts of a right and left print. They also reported finding a palm-frond bedding area and palms with hearts eaten nearby.
Family hunting near Wahkiacus is stalked by a large animal
During a deer-hunting drive in foggy woods, the witness and his father found large bipedal tracks over their tire marks and concluded a bear could not have made them. As they circled back, an unseen animal tracked them, producing a strong foul odor and a high-pitched squeal before thrashing off toward the mother waiting at the truck. They later found uprooted small trees, additional tracks in camp, hair on fencing, and a woody debris structure, and heard screaming and a howl that prompted a relative to leave camp.
Hikers spot a 9-10 foot tall black creature, and find a possible resting place of the creature

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon
Three hunters camped in a river bottom over the opening weekend of bow season. Over several days and nights they reported heavy impacts, rustling, a skunk-like odor, red eyeshine, wood knocks, whistles, talk-like mumbling, a whoop-ending vocalization, and bent trees and branch structures. The most intense moment was a predawn episode with a deep guttural roar followed by a scream-like sound near camp. They left early after smelling the odor again near a plum thicket.
Two men find rockpiles, nest at Abiqua River
The witness accompanied an older relative to watch fly fishing along a river. The relative pointed out stacked rock piles and later led the witness to a spot among trees described as a den, containing packed branches, reddish-brown hair tufts, feathers, and a strong decay-like odor. No creature was seen during the visit, and the identification as a den reflected the relative's interpretation.
