Motorists describe boat on trailer being shaken violently at night near Lake Cowichan

Three people driving with a boat on a trailer stopped on a logging road at night. While stopped the truck shook and rocked sideways and the boat and trailer were pushed toward the side of the road by something unseen.

Later inspection showed the boat twisted on the trailer with a split hull, damaged tie-downs and latch, and non-working trailer lights, with no claw marks found.

Possible vocalizations heard near Snow Bowl on San Francisco Peaks

The witness was hiking at Hart Prairie at midday when about six loud howls approached from upslope, closing from about 250 meters to 75-100 meters and then stopping. The witness waited and then spent about an hour searching the area but saw nothing, heard no movement, and found no sign. Months later the witness concluded a sasquatch was the best possible explanation for the sound.

After retrieving a dropped pole and returning to the truck, the witness heard something rush toward them, shone headlights toward the trees, and the group left as it retreated.

28 July 2006 Tanner, Limestone County, Alabama Class B #15597

Possible vocalizations reported near Tanner

The witness was working on a fence near the barn after dark when she heard a disturbance in the nearby woods that sounded like a deer being caught. About half an hour later she heard a loud powerful hollering howl from the woods, then heard it again from the area of the first noise as she prepared to leave. Frightened, she backed an ATV to the house and went inside, hearing nothing further when she returned outside with her husband. She believes the sound matched Bigfoot vocalizations she had heard on television and felt it could not have come from familiar local animals.
