Growl near Boston Bar, British Columbia (2013)

A few days later the guest returned to the same area with his friend [name withheld]. They heard a deep growl, loud tree knocks, and heavy footsteps pacing them through thick timber. As they retreated toward the car, the guest saw a tall, dark-haired, muscular figure watching them from the treeline before it screamed and left. Both men fled in the car and the friend later cut off contact.

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.

Man has rocks tossed at him while fishing WhiteSwan Lake

The witness was fishing from an anchored boat about 50 feet from shore late on a very dark night. Large rocks were thrown from a forested and inaccessible shoreline, with one barely missing the boat and a second seen hitting the water. The witness rowed back to the campground, where others reported hearing five splashes. A search of the suspected shoreline the next day found no footprints or other explanation.

Possible rock throwing at Batnuni Lake

The witness was sitting by a campfire outside the family motorhome with two dogs while her husband was inside with the children. She heard repeated huge splashes in the nearby lake that sounded like large boulders being thrown far out into the water, and the dogs became frightened. She discovered her husband had been inside asleep and had not caused the sounds, and he then also heard splashes while inside. A check outside with a flashlight revealed nothing further.

Numerous incidents near Powell River

In early summer 1984 the witness, then 14, and a companion rowed to an island in Haywire Bay for an overnight fishing trip. Late at night they heard repeated very large splashes from the mainland side that sounded like large rocks being dropped or thrown into the water. They considered a beaver tail slap but felt the timing and resounding sound did not fit. They told their parents, who attributed it to teenage imagination.

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.

Scream in British Columbia

A fish farm worker told the guest about a screamer on the high island by the farm that screamed, ran around, and threw rocks making big splashes. The next day it was low near the tide line screaming as two large trees fell into the water, and other shifts reported it returning in later years.
