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.

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. When they shouted and threw rocks toward the roadside bushes, rocks were thrown back at them while growling sounds were heard and the accompanying dog barked. Frightened, they ran to a nearby activity centre and later told a parent, who suggested a bear.

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. The sounds matched their movements, stopping when they stopped, and continued alongside them for an hour or more as they descended. They spoke loudly to try to scare it away and judged from the loud crunching steps that it was very large and not a deer.

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.
