Boater spots something odd during the day on Lake Shasta

The witness was riding a personal watercraft up the Pit River arm of Shasta Lake in July. While rounding a turn, the witness saw a large hairy head with eyes about 20 feet from shore staring at them. After a few seconds the head submerged leaving a ripple, and the witness circled and searched the area but found no further sign.

Man collecting pine nuts retreats from intimidation approach, above French Gulch near Lake Shasta

The witness stopped a pickup at night in pine forest north of town to collect large pine cones. While outside the truck, the witness heard a loud screech followed by fast, heavy impacts like large bipedal steps approaching down a slope. The witness scrambled into the truck and while driving away saw a dark shaggy upright figure behind the truck in tail-light glow and moonlight. The witness fled down the mountain and left the area after daylight.

Loud Screams Heard by Hunters While Camping Near a Natural Spring

Two hunters were camped overnight during deer season when they noticed a bipedal figure crossing a moonlit clearing. Shortly after, they heard loud screaming and crashing in brush on the hillside, followed by a log coming down, a strong urine-like odor, and renewed screams. Later, from inside their tent, both saw a very large shadow pass between the campfire and the tent. The next morning they found no tracks but noticed a large log newly present near their vehicle by the spring.
