Possible approach to campers near Chilliwack

The witness and four companions were camping by the Chilliwack River at night. The witness imitated alleged sasquatch vocalizations, then heard deeper, longer return calls for about ten minutes. A final closer, louder call was followed by loud breaking of sticks and brush 20-30 feet into the trees; the group had no visual contact and the witness did not return to the site the next day.

Possible vocalizations heard by trucker at Bell Irving rest stop near Meziadin Junction

The witness, a long-haul driver, stopped alone at a remote rest area for a dinner break. While outside the truck he felt watched and quickly returned to the vehicle. Over about 8-10 minutes he heard three howl-like vocalizations that sounded progressively closer, the last from behind the outhouses. Feeling uneasy, he left the area immediately.

Possible knocking heard by hikers in the Chilliwack valley

The witness and a companion were hiking out from an overnight camp when they heard rhythmic tapping like stones striking together from two separate spots in the trees. They considered the alternating sequences might be communication or a distress signal. After the companion struck rocks together four times, they heard seven quick taps in reply followed by silence, then they left the area.

15 January 2006 Lumby, British Columbia Class B #13583

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.

September 2005 With Held, British Columbia Class B #13390

Possible footprints found in BC interior

The witness and two companions were deer hunting when they noted an absence of game and a feeling of being watched. Later near a dried marsh they found widely spaced tracks that turned and appeared to run toward cover, accompanied by a strong foul odor. They left the area for town and returned the next morning to photograph the tracks, when game had returned and the odor was gone.

25 August 2005 [Sunshine Coast Region - North Of Vancouver], British Columbia Class B #12855

Various incidents on British Columbia Expedition

During a multi-night group expedition the witness slept locked in a truck parked on a logging road above the tent camp. At about 4:30 a.m. something struck the truck, waking the witness, who remained still with eyes closed and heard heavy bipedal footsteps walk away down the road. After a radio mic click apparently drew it back past the truck, the steps departed again toward another camper's position, who also reported hearing movement. The episode lasted about 15 to 20 minutes and involved no visual sighting.

Couple hears back and forth vocalizations, between 5 and 6 a.m., where the Harrison and Chehalis rivers join

Around 5 a.m. the witness was awakened at home by loud, unidentifiable animal-like calls that seemed to move across the property toward nearby flats over about 20 minutes. The household dog froze during the sounds, and usual background wildlife was silent. The witness's husband woke afterward and also heard the distant calls, and both said they had never heard such sounds in decades living in the area.

Man has rocks tossed at him while fishing WhiteSwan Lake

The witness was fishing from an anchored boat about 50 feet from shore late on a very dark night. Large rocks were thrown from a forested and inaccessible shoreline, with one barely missing the boat and a second seen hitting the water. The witness rowed back to the campground, where others reported hearing five splashes. A search of the suspected shoreline the next day found no footprints or other explanation.

June 2004 Kamloops, British Columbia Class B #9654

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.

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.

Unusual call silenced coyotes, frightened dog

On November 5, 2003 at about 9:30 p.m., the witness was outside with her dog at her home near the base of a mountain when she heard a loud, long drawn-out human-like 'ahhhh' sound from across the field. Coyotes that had been howling stopped for about 30 minutes and later resumed from a different location, and her large dog tucked its tail and ran home. The witness did not see the source, did not recognize it as any known wildlife, and said she felt it may have been a Sasquatch.

Possible rock throwing at Batnuni Lake

The witness was sitting by a campfire outside the family motorhome with two dogs while her husband was inside with the children. She heard repeated huge splashes in the nearby lake that sounded like large boulders being thrown far out into the water, and the dogs became frightened. She discovered her husband had been inside asleep and had not caused the sounds, and he then also heard splashes while inside. A check outside with a flashlight revealed nothing further.

Possible rock-knocking heard by hikers near Pitt Lake

The witness and a companion were ending a multi-day hike and had stopped beside a logging road to dry clothes over a small fire. They heard a repeated rock-clacking sound from the forest at regular intervals for about ten minutes. Their two dogs became frightened and there was no reply when they called out. They put out the fire and left quickly, after which the sounds stopped, without ever seeing the source.

Tall human-like form seen at Chilliwack Lake Provencial Park

Around midday in May 2001, the witness was driving toward Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park to check camp sites when they saw a large black human-like figure walking upright along the treeline about 200 meters ahead. The figure turned 90 degrees into the woods at high speed without looking at the witness, and the witness stopped and followed on foot for about an hour. The witness found only broken branches, bent grass and unusual silence, and estimated the figure's height at over seven feet by comparing to a branch at its head level.

Man Finds Tracks in Muskwa River Floodplain

The witness stopped in a river floodplain to look for rocks and found large tracks crossing his path. He followed the trackway for nearly a quarter mile and photographed the prints with his boot for scale, noting they were larger and deeper than his own boot impression. While following, he saw a group of resident wild horses running from the direction of the tracks, which he interpreted as spooked.

15 August 2000 Campbell River, British Columbia Class B #7911

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.
