1 August 1995 Markdale - Grey County, Ontario Class B #24881

Strange vocalizations heard in the Markdale area

The witness and one companion stood outside a rural house late at night and listened to distant, loud, high-pitched screams or mournful moans for about half an hour. The sounds faded in and out, at times requiring straining to hear, before growing fainter and stopping. Neither person recognized the sound as any known animal or human, and later comparisons by the witness pointed only to purported Sasquatch recordings.

June 1987 Graham, Ontario Class B #1347

Strange feeling of being watched reported by couple.

The witness and her husband paddled by canoe from a creek into a lake for a routine fishing trip. Near the lake opening they heard a loud hollow yell or scream from the far end and felt watched, moving into a nearby bay out of sight. In the bay they encountered a heavy overpowering unfamiliar odor and then left without fishing, paddling quickly back to their vehicle. They did not discuss it until after driving away, and the witness told no one else for almost 10 years.

By morning two pet rabbits kept outside were gone, with no damage to the cage.

December 1958 Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, Ontario Class B #25670

Possible tracks found crossing field of snow 50 years ago in the City of Thunder Bay

At about age 11, the witness was walking alone to a restaurant hangout around midday in winter when he noticed very large bare footprints with distinct toes in the snow of a vacant field. The prints formed a long stride and ran southwest across the entire field. He did not see the maker and did not report it at the time because of his young age.

Woman recalls hearing unusual hi-pitch sounds at a home near North Bay

The witness was sewing at home late at night when her dog showed fear and she turned down the television to hear a loud, unfamiliar screeching vocalization from very close outside the house. The sound lasted about four minutes with pauses and she was too spooked to go outside to investigate. She initially told herself it was an owl, but later comparison to owl, bobcat, lynx and cougar sounds found no match.

Possible tracks found near cabin at Otter Lake

As a child on a family vacation at a secluded cabin, the witness experienced nighttime garbage disturbance and loud branch snapping during an afternoon walk. One morning the family found several very large footprints in damp dirt outside the cabin, so large that an adult foot was dwarfed inside one. The family left the same day without making a cast of the prints.
