25 July 2008 Dorrington, Tuolumne County, California Class B #24277

Campers hear strange vocalizations for over an hour while camping outside Dorrington

The witness was camping with her family at a family cabin site near Dorrington. Around 2:30 a.m. she heard unfamiliar loud, smooth vocalizations and woke her husband, and the two listened together for an hour or more. The sounds included rising calls and rising-then-falling calls, sometimes seeming nearer and sometimes farther, estimated from a quarter to a mile away to the south. No animal was seen, and a scat pile noted behind the cabin was thought by her husband to be from a bear.

8 August 2007 Independence, Tulare County, California Class A #24938

Daylight sighting by backpacker near Pacific Crest Trail west of Independence observes two creatures during the afternoon on the PCT

On the afternoon of August 11, 2007, the witness was resting near the Pacific Crest Trail in the southern high Sierras when he noticed two upright, dark-furred figures about 200 yards away near a deep canyon. He watched for about 10 minutes as they moved around close together, apparently looking at the ground and unaware of him. After he made a coyote call, both figures quickly left his view down into the canyon.

Hiker leaves main trail and finds two sets of footprints

The witness left the main trail alone to explore off-trail toward a nearby lake.

The tracks were lost in pine needles nearby, and the witness left to rejoin his companion.

Surveyor has daytime encounter in the Tehachapi Mtns near Frazier Park

The witness was driving slowly along a ridge-line dirt road during a boundary survey at midday when a black figure was spotted among trees. Initially mistaken for a stump and then a bear, the figure was judged too thin and tall to be a bear. As the vehicle closed to close range, the figure sprinted across the road on two legs and disappeared into trees.

Humanoid print found after rain near Huckleberry patch.

Sasquatch sighting near High Palm, California (1994)

While visiting family property, the witness and her partner found a very large human-shaped scat pile containing fruit pits. Later that evening while bathing alone, she saw a head with eyes watching her through a small high window and spoke to it thinking it was her partner. The next day no chair or woodpile was found that could explain someone seeing in, as the window was seven to eight feet off the ground.

A field researcher describes the events of his two week long solo backpacking trip in the Bluff Creek area

The witness was camped alone at the intersection of four logging roads in Northern California, tending a campfire late at night.

In the morning he found large foot-shaped flattened grass impressions leading to and from the spot behind the bush.
