Sasquatch sighting in Ontario (2020)

The guest and his wife were driving back at night after picking up hay for their rabbits. They noticed eyeshine low to the ground ahead, which suddenly rose to about seven feet as they approached. A tall dark shape then hopped twice like a kangaroo and disappeared into the tree line. They turned around to look again but it was gone.

The next morning the witness and companion were working in a clearing when they hid under a tree from a low loud plane. As the engine faded they stood up and two huge black hairy animals on all fours charged past very close and veered away. A small dog chased them while the witnesses yelled and banged shovels and fled, later concluding the animals had stalked them undetected through the thick brush.

A sighting of a gray shape in the bush near the waters edge, large footprints found afterwards

Two people in separate boats traveling along the shore of a remote lake reported seeing a gray shape that frightened them.

Sasquatch sighting in Ontario (1990)

As a teen living in a rented rural Ontario home, the witness explored an unused hillside barn in the fall and found a large dark mass buried in hay.

For months afterward she coexisted with it, banging her feet on entry and leaving when it vocalized, occasionally smelling it and leaving food.
