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.

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.

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.
Possible tracks found near Vernon

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.

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.

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 tracks observed on a frozen lake near Invemere
Two people walking across a frozen lake found a trackway of very large five-toed footprints and followed it for several hundred yards toward the opposite shore.

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.
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.
