Possible footprints found in BC interior

The witness and two companions were deer hunting when they noted an absence of game and a feeling of being watched.

Sighting by snowmobilers outside Castlegar

Near Christmas 1980 the witness was riding a snowmobile with a relative on a forest trail at night when they got stuck. Both smelled a strong rotten-meat odor and then the witness saw a fur-covered bipedal figure about six feet tall run across the trail into the bush. The witness found a large bare footprint where it crossed and bipedal steps through deep powder snow. A parent who arrived later saw the remaining marks and told the witness the figure was a sasquatch.

Two brothers on an early morning run outside town saw an upright, fully hairy creature cross the road onto a gravel road.

Minutes later they found large barefoot tracks in light snow and noted a slight lingering odor.

A lingering egg-like smell was also noted in connection with the crossing.

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.

Several people digging clams on the coast at night in the dark suddenly smelled a strong rotting odor first mistaken for a dead seal. The smell quickly went away, unlike a carcass, and the diggers attributed it to the local name for the hairy biped.

Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia

A few days before the October chum opening, the guest and three others were anchored off Village Island when banging, chirping whistles and a strong stink were noticed. In the spotlight two upright creatures were seen on the beach, one larger in the grass and one smaller below, which crouched and covered their faces. Rifles were aimed but not fired, and the figures later left into the bush, with further eye-shine, scenting sounds, and a tree bent as one departed.
