Campers describe rock throwing on Forbush Lake

A family camping in a tent at the mouth of a river woke around 5 a.m. to sounds of something moving in the water followed by repeated large splashes described as rocks being thrown. They retreated to their boat offshore, where the witness shone a flashlight and saw a red reflective glint near the tent. They waited until daylight, found nothing at the spot, then broke camp and left.

Possible vocalizations heard near Snow Bowl on San Francisco Peaks

The witness was hiking at Hart Prairie at midday when about six loud howls approached from upslope, closing from about 250 meters to 75-100 meters and then stopping. The witness waited and then spent about an hour searching the area but saw nothing, heard no movement, and found no sign. Months later the witness concluded a sasquatch was the best possible explanation for the sound.

Possible stalking on the Concho River outside San Angelo

The witness and his two sons were fishing by a river at dusk when heavy footsteps approached through dense brush and birds flushed from the trees. The witness shouted and waved his arms at the fence line where the sounds stopped but could see only shadows, later seeing a large shadow through the fence that dwarfed his own stature. After retrieving a dropped pole and returning to the truck, the witness heard something rush toward them, shone headlights toward the trees, and the group left as it retreated.

Sasquatch sighting near Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (2006)

The witness was dropped by helicopter on a mountain top to troubleshoot a seismic line and hiked down alongside a large scree field. Hearing steady rock-rolling sounds, he approached quietly and watched a slender hairy female and two small juveniles foraging among rocks and putting items in their mouths. A much larger female then emerged and caught a small rodent, which a huge male rushed out to snatch and eat. After the animals stood and scanned the treeline while sniffing deeply, the witness radioed a bear alert, a helicopter buzzed the area scattering the group, and he returned to the helipad where the pilot said others had reported similar encounters.
