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.

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.

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.

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.

Several tracks found by hunter near Lewiston Lake

While visiting family property, the witness and her partner found a very large human-shaped scat pile containing fruit pits.

In the morning he found large foot-shaped flattened grass impressions leading to and from the spot behind the bush.
Daytime sighting by hiker on La Jolla Indian Reservation

Vocalization near Orleans, California
New owners of an abandoned property began hearing screams nightly and having trash bags taken from the porch and sorted in a bush by color and type.
