Witness and his girlfriend hear strange sounds near Magnetawan
The witness was camping with a companion and the companion's parents in northern Ontario. Around 9-10 pm as it grew dark, the group heard a loud, clear vocalization first thought to be a wolf or coyote but then judged to be neither. The sound continued for an extended period. The next day the witness compared wildlife recordings and found a BFRO howl recording to be the closest match, though quieter than what was heard.
Possible vocalization heard by fishermen at Tappan Lake
The witness and companions were night-fishing when they heard an extremely loud scream from the hillside described as woman-like but different.

Campers driven off mountain by unseen intruders
Three campers were around a late-night campfire when they heard repeated series of deep two-tone howls from hills to the north and south and a loud tree-impact sound. One source of howls moved from about 100 yards west to about 50 yards in the treeline, appearing to exchange calls with a distant source while crashing through brush toward camp. Alarmed, the group packed under guard and drove out, hearing the howls again from about a mile behind them. They later interpreted the incident as possibly involving three large communicating beings.

Couple hears strange night time howls across stream from their home
On a winter evening at home, the witness went outside with the dog and heard prolonged loud howling he did not recognize.

He heard crunching beside the shack, saw a shadow move toward the door, and something pulled on the door.

Something rushed past in the dark and the witness fired shots, then resupplied and smelled a strong fecal and wet-grass odor.

Lone camper hears vocalization
The witness was sitting alone by a campfire late at night when a very loud, high-pitched wailing howl began in the woods at a distance. The sound continued intermittently for about ten minutes, seeming to move slowly, with no answering calls heard. The witness felt it did not match known wolves, coyotes, or cougars and concluded it must have been a Sasquatch.
Multiple screams heard
The witness was camping with family and woke between 3 and 4 a.m. to a high-pitched howling/screaming that started with one voice and grew to several in unison before stopping abruptly after 10-15 seconds. The witness's wife also woke and heard it. The witness said the sound was unfamiliar and unlike elk, deer, cougar, or coyote known from prior experience.

Loud calls, rock/boulder throwing disturbs campers
The witness and a companion were sitting at their campsite campfire at night when they heard loud canine-like howl and whoop calls from multiple directions, approaching to within about 35 yards. The calls were described as deeper and louder than coyote or wolf, followed by fast gutteral sounds likened to a language or argument between two animals. The pair ruled out known animals and a human prank after hearing a second matching voice upstream. The vocal exchange lasted about five to seven minutes before the animals appeared to move away upstream over a bluff.
