Seasoned outdoors couple hear possible vocalizations while gathering firewood north of Campbell River

The witness and a spouse were collecting firewood on a logging road in the late afternoon when they heard a loud two-toned whooping call from one side, answered by a higher-pitched response from the opposite side.

Strange, tall creature seen crossing the road at Kennedy Lake

About an hour after dark they saw the silhouette of a tall, very skinny biped cross the road about 30-40 feet away toward the lake.

Hunter finds possible tracks just off a logging road close to Harrison Lake (w/photos)

The witness and his son were hunting and looking for sasquatch sign in a clearcut late in the day. The witness found a line of very fresh barefoot-like tracks on a gravel bank that made a sharp turn toward the road, with one showing a crescent of toes. He concluded a sasquatch had passed minutes earlier. After heavy rain eroded the tracks, he photographed the site and cast the one track that retained detail.
