On a windy night in fall 1976, a teenager out walking reached a school track and noticed a very tall, naked, hair-covered figure standing near a baseball backstop.

Possible Vocalizations heard in Southern Alberta
One evening in summer, the witness sat on the back deck of a home on the coulee banks and heard loud, garbled, female-like vocalizations from below the embankment toward the river.

Possible tracks found in Jasper National Park
The witness was solo backpacking in the North Boundary area of Jasper National Park in 1987 or 1988. Near midday he found several very fresh, large human-like barefoot prints crossing the muddy trail at an angle from dense bush toward a bog. He estimated they were less than an hour old but took no photos and continued hiking, later concluding they may have been sasquatch tracks. He reported nothing else unusual for the rest of the trip.
Memory told of a nighttime sighting while traveling on a mountainside near Rossland
The witness was riding in the back seat of a car driving up a mountain dirt road in the evening to watch the sky. In the headlights at a hairpin where a creek crossed the road, she saw a tall grey hairy figure bent over the creek.

A companion in the back seat also saw it and was frightened, while the two occupants in the front seat were looking elsewhere and saw nothing.
Witnesses hear, smell, and feel something large moving & walking right next to them
Late at night in heavy fog, the witness's wife went to the outhouse and encountered something very close that she heard moving and smelled strongly, then fled back inside. The witness went outside with a gun and flashlight but could see nothing in the fog, though he heard bipedal footsteps, noticed a strong odor, and heard a low screeching sound toward a relative's home. The next morning he found a barbed-wire fence broken down with nails pulled out but found no tracks or hair.

On a warm summer night in 1993, the witness rode with two companions in a truck from the lakeside cabin toward a property above. In the headlights about 100 metres away they saw a small dark hairy creature crouched on all fours in the road with long straight legs, no visible tail or protruding ears, and large bright shining eyes.

Possible stalking and rock throwing in the Fraser Valley
Three companions walking back from swimming along a forestry road felt watched and heard snapping branches and rustling paralleling their movement.

Highpitched vocalizations heard near Morrisville
The witness was visiting a relative's remote cabin in Vermont late at night when the group heard a loud, child-like screaming approaching from a wooded ridge. The source was described as moving quickly along the ridge and disturbing dogs as it passed.

Possible snow tracks found in Skagit Valley south of Hope (w/photos)
The witness reported finding very large footprint-like tracks in melting snow on a road south of Hope, B.C., with an unusually long stride.

While hunting small game, witness gets a glimpse of "the hairy man"
A man hunting small game claimed a tall, fully hairy figure walked across a dirt road near Skilak Lake.

Sighting by a motorist
The witness was driving on Route 95 through forested wilderness in early evening daylight.

Over two-week periods in 1992 and 1993, the witness repeatedly heard loud nighttime sounds near a lakeside cabin, described as whistling, chattering, screams and deep thumping lasting one to four minutes.

Various incidents and sightings from 1976-2008 by family members at their rural home near Canton

The brief 3-5 second view was described as taller than five feet based on fence posts, stocky with very large shoulders, dark brown to black hair, and walking on two legs, causing an initial bear impression to be dismissed. The account was submitted by her husband along with later family experiences in the same wooded swamp-lake area.

Possible stalking of hikers on Prospect Mt. near Lake George
A couple hiking down a mountain road at dusk heard a large unseen presence moving through the woods beside the road.

Daylight sighting near a railroad bed and the Canisteo River
The witness and his son reportedly watched a dark animal from about three-tenths of a mile away in a flat river-bottom area. They observed it walk several hundred feet along the river bank before it went out of sight around a bend. The daylight sighting occurred in late spring during very dry conditions, and nearby railroad workers could not see the animal because a hedgerow blocked their view.
