Possible encounter close to the hospital in Smithers
Around midnight the witness was with two friends in a small forest near the house when they heard a large branch snap. The witness saw a tall outline about 15 to 20 feet away leaning with one arm against a tree and staring, then it turned and walked toward the road while the witness ran. Companions did not see the figure, and the next day the witness found fresh paths and broken and uprooted trees in the area.
Possible nest found near Dawson Creek
The witness was hiking with two dogs when he found a low shelter made from fallen trees with woven branches. Inside and around it he reported reddish hair, many large fibrous scat piles, snapped branches, and a single large bare footprint. His dogs acted nervous and one erased part of the track before it could be measured. He left the area without collecting samples and has not returned.
Possible tracks and vocalizations outside Lumby
On Jan 14, the witness and his girlfriend hiked from the field across the creek to an old skidder trail. There they found large, widely spaced footprints in deep crunchy snow that the witness could only match at a semi-run and that crossed a fallen log without disturbing the snow on top. Nearby they saw a tree with bark stripped all around the lower five feet. Feeling unsafe, they stopped investigating and left the area.
Photographer is "escorted" out of the woods between Osoyoos & Greenwood
The witness drove to an abandoned homestead to take sunset photographs. While walking back to the truck through knee-deep snow he heard twigs snapping and footsteps running through thick woods alongside him. He ran to the truck, heard a deep elk-like grunt, and saw pines shaking with snow falling off as he left. He returned two weeks later and found snapped-off saplings.
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.
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 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.
