Campers find a large track

Two companions camping near Index walked down an overgrown disused road to photograph the river.

Family Encounters Red Eyes and Unusual Smells

The witness group was camped in a Sierra County campground and walked to an outhouse at night with a small flashlight. The witness shone the light toward the outhouse area below the trail and saw two red eyes that appeared to crouch down, then quickly returned to camp. A foul odor noticed around the outhouse lessened when others checked shortly after, and the next morning the group found small uprooted trees and no odor, estimating the eyes had been 7 to 8 feet off the ground.

Days later the witness believed an outline of a figure appeared in one photo and reported being followed on later visits to check for more prints.

A family of five driving between Grand Prairie and Tumbler Ridge stopped on Boot Lake Road and found large barefoot human-like footprints in snow in a roadside ditch.

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.

Blocking of walking trail

The witness regularly walked a wooded trail near office buildings during lunch. One afternoon in May 1999 the witness found a young tree freshly snapped off high up and laid across the trail to block it, with no sign of sawing, wind, or vehicle contact. The witness showed the scene to a coworker the next day and cleared the trail, and later wondered whether the damage could be related to Bigfoot. No creature was seen and no footprints or hair were checked.
