Possible sighting near Bowser on Vancouver Island
About 2.5 years before the report, a 4.5-year-old boy was riding in a van with his mother and grandmother while the family looked for firewood near Bowser. Looking out the open door toward a clearcut bordered by alders, the boy saw a tall upright brown-black animal emerge, take several steps, pause to look at the van, then return to cover. He described it as walking on two legs and swinging its arms, seeing it from the waist up.
Motorist witnesses a possible daylight highway crossing near Revelstoke
The witness was driving west on a mountain highway in late morning in a line of four vehicles. The witness reported seeing a large black bipedal figure hurry across the highway from right to left well ahead, then go through the ditch and up a steep slope. The witness continued west, then returned to look for traces along the roadside but found the bush too thick to search.
Various incidents around Paul Lake Provincial Park outside Kamloops
The witness was hiking back toward the day-use lot in light rain after walking to the west end of the lake with a companion. After scuffing a foot on gravel, the witness heard a loud grunt and a large branch snap uphill, then saw a large reddish-brown hairy form crouched by a fallen tree about 40-50 ft away, partly hidden by undergrowth. The form stood, held an arm across the face area, looked back once, and left quickly and silently upright without dropping to all fours.
Possible stalking at Echo Lake near Campbell River
Two coworkers surveying a woodlot heard close bipedal-like footsteps in dense brush in the morning, then heard a single twig snap near their midday lunch spot. Later that afternoon a large hidden animal bolted from behind a knoll toward the treeline as one worker walked past, crashing through tall brush. The writer heard the movement but did not see it; the companion briefly saw only the dark top of its head or back above tall shrubs. The writer interprets the three incidents as one animal trailing them through the day.
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 spot a 9-10 foot tall black creature, and find a possible resting place of the creature
Two people hiking a mountain trail in the morning reported seeing the back of a large black animal. They estimated its height from where its back had touched a tree branch. They also reported a wet-dog-like odor, a trail made by the animal, and a bed of leaves under cedar trees.
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.
Rocks thrown at group of summer campers
The witness and about twenty other campers were sleeping on a beach during an overnight canoe trip to an island. After dark, rocks were repeatedly thrown hard and accurately at the group, continuing through the night until dawn and frightening many campers. The witness and a companion briefly saw a fleeting human-like figure running along the treeline toward the group before rejoining the others and sheltering behind driftwood.
Possible sighting around 2:00AM near Courtenay
The witness arrived home late at night under bright moonlight and saw a large dark form standing in a ditch behind a telephone pole across the road, watching. The witness pointed it out to a parent, who glanced toward it and hurried the family inside. The form remained motionless during the several minutes observed, and a next-day check found only muddy water in the about 2-foot-deep ditch.
