Creature observed scratching.
The witness and son were on a trail about a quarter mile from the river and stopped so the son could tie his shoe. The witness then noticed movement 150-200 feet away by a large old redwood stump and discerned a mass with a human-like torso from the waist up, apparently scratching its back against the stump. After gaining a back and profile view, the witness became fearful and both fled down the trail for about thirty seconds to a minute.
Upright hair covered figure seen beside river
The witness parked by a river to fish for steelhead on a rainy winter afternoon and heard two loud whoop-like bellows. While wading downstream the witness saw two tall, hair-covered figures standing motionless across the river and noticed a cocoon-like bundle of grass on a root wad. After fishing back upstream the witness looked back to find the figures and object gone, and a return visit the next day was blocked by flooding.
Whistle in California (1999)
Shortly after graduation the witness and three friends camped overnight in a vacant house and were tormented by whistles and loud bangs on windows all night. They found the house completely destroyed when they returned the next day. On a dusk return with shotguns they saw trailers upslope, heard the whistle again, and a large rock was thrown at them, prompting gunfire before they fled.
Cryptid sighting in California (1998)
Later the same year, the witness was alone paddling a 17-foot canoe on the small lake late at night. Something large rose under the canoe and lifted it a foot or two out of the water, and he balanced on its ridged back for a few seconds and saw overlapping large scales in moonlight. It lowered him back down, and he paddled fast to the dock and did not experience it again despite many later trips.
Sasquatch sighting in California (1998)
The teenage volunteer and his younger cousin were biking and then walking a dense trail toward a waterfall when they smelled decay and heard rustling. A reddish-brown hairy arm reached through thick brush very close to the witness and snapped off a limb, showing a human-like hand. Both fled immediately, later told the foreman, and returned the next day to recover the bikes but found no tracks due to rocky ground.
Two 4-wheelers have night sighting above Huntington Lake
The witness and a companion were four-wheeling late at night when their headlights caught a shaggy red-haired creature in the road. It had apparently been squatting in the road, then moved quickly across on all fours while starting to straighten toward two legs before leaving the light. Both witnesses felt it was not a bear, cat, or other known animal due to its color, narrow torso, and human-like body shape.
Sighting by woman in Eagle Meadow, above Strawberry
A woman hunting with her husband from under pine trees across a meadow noticed a dark figure that had not been there minutes earlier.

Sighting of a bigfoot by a miner
The witness was mining on a creek when movement caught attention. On standing, the witness saw a creature described as a Bigfoot peering from behind a tree about 60-75 yards away.

The witness slipped on mossy rocks while backing away, injuring an arm, then hurried up the trail.
Sasquatch sighting near Lewiston, California (1996)
The witness and his wife returned after dinner to their closed campground to find their zipped tent unzipped, overturned, and contents strewn. While packing to leave for a motel, the wife saw a huge hairy figure that had been crouched by a tree stand, turn, and walk away silently. They drove to the valley that night and returned in daylight to find the branch it stood under was well above the witness's reach, convincing them it was not a bear but a Sasquatch that had ransacked the camp.

Sasquatch sighting near High Palm, California (1994)
While visiting family property, the witness and her partner found a very large human-shaped scat pile containing fruit pits.

The next day no chair or woodpile was found that could explain someone seeing in, as the window was seven to eight feet off the ground.
Sasquatch sighting near Humboldt County (1994)
In daylight the witness was walking back with his mother, two brothers, and three dogs after moving cows. The dogs yelped and ran off as something was heard running in the woods to the side.

The witness was surveying for amphibians downstream of Bloomer Lake when a black hair-covered bipedal figure was seen moving through the woods for two or three steps before disappearing from view.

Daylight sighting by a horseback rider, near a pond in Redwood National Park
The witness was horseback riding with friends and stopped for lunch when crashing was heard in the brush. The witness rode toward the noise to look for elk and watched a small hair-covered creature trying to drink from a pool about 30 feet away. The horse became agitated so the witness left to tell friends, who returned and heard movement and saw ferns moving as something left toward the larger creek. The witness believed the crashing was made by a larger animal accompanying the young creature.
Witness observed creature watching him
The witness was walking uphill near Hunter Creek and climbing over a large fallen tree when they saw an entity stooped behind another fallen trunk about 30 feet away watching them.

A daylight sighting near Frazier Park, by a hiker
The witness was hiking with a companion in a pine forest and stopped for a break near a rocky outcropping above a ravine. From about 150 feet above, the witness watched a dark brown, upright, hair-covered figure moving slowly through heavy brush below. When the witness shouted to the companion, the figure looked up showing a human-like face, then left quickly through the brush before the companion could see it.
Camper's encounter with a Bigfoot outside tent in North Lake Campground near Bishop
The witness was camping with two young relatives at a high-elevation lake campground in the summer. Around midnight he woke to heavy footsteps stopping outside the tent and, peeking through the mesh with a flashlight, saw the huge hairy muscular human-like legs of a very tall biped standing a few feet away. After a minute or two the individual walked away, and the witness moved the children to the car and left the campsite early, leaving some gear behind.
Man collecting pine nuts retreats from intimidation approach, above French Gulch near Lake Shasta
The witness stopped a pickup at night in pine forest north of town to collect large pine cones. While outside the truck, the witness heard a loud screech followed by fast, heavy impacts like large bipedal steps approaching down a slope. The witness scrambled into the truck and while driving away saw a dark shaggy upright figure behind the truck in tail-light glow and moonlight. The witness fled down the mountain and left the area after daylight.
Three young adults encounter large aggressive biped while fishing the San Joaquin River
Three people were fishing at night at a pool on a river near a bridge when they saw a frightened coyote run past and heard splashes. A large dark figure standing waist-deep in the river about 40 yards away then threw boulders toward them, with the closest landing a few yards away and splashing water on them. The group shouted, reeled in their lines, and fled through trees and a field to their car. They returned the next day and judged the water depth and boulders inconsistent with a person.

On a cold overcast morning in May 1991 a family day-hiked and filmed near Mono Lake. No one noticed anything unusual at the time. About 17 years later, while rewatching the VHS tape, the family noticed a large black upright figure moving briefly between rock formations in the background of the final seconds.
