Strange vocalizations heard in the Markdale area

The witness and one companion stood outside a rural house late at night and listened to distant, loud, high-pitched screams or mournful moans for about half an hour. The sounds faded in and out, at times requiring straining to hear, before growing fainter and stopping. Neither person recognized the sound as any known animal or human, and later comparisons by the witness pointed only to purported Sasquatch recordings.

Sasquatch sighting in Ontario (1990)

As a teen living in a rented rural Ontario home, the witness explored an unused hillside barn in the fall and found a large dark mass buried in hay. The mass lifted a huge gorilla-like head and grunted, so she apologized and left. For months afterward she coexisted with it, banging her feet on entry and leaving when it vocalized, occasionally smelling it and leaving food.

Strange feeling of being watched reported by couple.

The witness and her husband paddled by canoe from a creek into a lake for a routine fishing trip. Near the lake opening they heard a loud hollow yell or scream from the far end and felt watched, moving into a nearby bay out of sight. In the bay they encountered a heavy overpowering unfamiliar odor and then left without fishing, paddling quickly back to their vehicle. They did not discuss it until after driving away, and the witness told no one else for almost 10 years.

Teen watches as sitting bigfoot eats blueberries

In late afternoon in September 1986 the witness was rabbit hunting and walking home on a regular trail when a strong foul odor was noticed.

As darkness approached the witness revealed himself, and the creature stood without using its hands and calmly walked away into the brush.

Fishing Guide has sighting while trolling Deer Lake

In early July 1986 in the evening, a fishing guide motoring clients by boat toward a narrow rocky passage on Deer Lake saw a tall black-furred biped run and leap across the narrows into forest. The clients did not see it but heard branches breaking as it moved away, and the guide shut off the engine to listen until the sound faded. The guide later reasoned the size, bipedal run, swinging arms and lack of snout did not match a local black bear. A next-morning search found no footprints on the rocky shore.

Footsteps near Dryden, Ontario (1984)

Two friends camped at a remote lake far from town and spent the night in a tent listening to loud heavy bipedal footsteps pacing behind them. A radio with dead batteries emitted loud screeching static, prompting them to move to a fire on a rock by the lake. They later heard a loud shrilling whistle down the lake, renewed pacing, and an identical whistle from across the lake at daylight, after which all sounds stopped.
