Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia (2013)

The guest and coworkers stayed on a small island camp through the fall while building cabins. They experienced stick throwing into the water, repeated disappearance of garlic, probing trails around the cook area, chatter and a roar at night. In daylight the guest viewed a hair-covered creature squatting against a stump through a scope, then found a repeatedly used standing depression overlooking the camp.

12 March 2013 Campbell River, British Columbia Class B #40345

Seasoned outdoors couple hear possible vocalizations while gathering firewood north of Campbell River

The witness and a spouse were collecting firewood on a logging road in the late afternoon when they heard a loud two-toned whooping call from one side, answered by a higher-pitched response from the opposite side. The calls continued back and forth for about a minute in what sounded like communication, while other forest sounds went silent. After the sounds stopped abruptly, normal woods sounds gradually returned several minutes later.

July 2006 Chilliwack, British Columbia Class B #18441

Possible approach to campers near Chilliwack

The witness and four companions were camping by the Chilliwack River at night. The witness imitated alleged sasquatch vocalizations, then heard deeper, longer return calls for about ten minutes. A final closer, louder call was followed by loud breaking of sticks and brush 20-30 feet into the trees; the group had no visual contact and the witness did not return to the site the next day.

1 October 2005 Withheld, British Columbia Class A #12703

Various incidents near a possible nest on Vancouver Island

A group of seven hikers were hiking on a mountain trail in the afternoon. They heard cackling, yelping, growling and moaning sounds and found the trail blocked by a large uprooted stump with placed boulders and smashed trees. Two upright figures, one black and one light brown and hairy, were seen moving parallel to the group and leaping down a cliff, while the group felt stalked and watched as they hurried out to the road.

3 October 2004 Agassiz, British Columbia Class B #9438

Couple hears back and forth vocalizations, between 5 and 6 a.m., where the Harrison and Chehalis rivers join

Around 5 a.m. the witness was awakened at home by loud, unidentifiable animal-like calls that seemed to move across the property toward nearby flats over about 20 minutes. The household dog froze during the sounds, and usual background wildlife was silent. The witness's husband woke afterward and also heard the distant calls, and both said they had never heard such sounds in decades living in the area.

June 2004 Kamloops, British Columbia Class B #9654

Various incidents around Paul Lake Provincial Park outside Kamloops

The witness was hiking back toward the day-use lot in light rain after walking to the west end of the lake with a companion. After scuffing a foot on gravel, the witness heard a loud grunt and a large branch snap uphill, then saw a large reddish-brown hairy form crouched by a fallen tree about 40-50 ft away, partly hidden by undergrowth. The form stood, held an arm across the face area, looked back once, and left quickly and silently upright without dropping to all fours.

January 2004 Between Osoyoos & Greenwood, British Columbia Class B #15419

Photographer is "escorted" out of the woods between Osoyoos & Greenwood

The witness drove to an abandoned homestead to take sunset photographs. While walking back to the truck through knee-deep snow he heard twigs snapping and footsteps running through thick woods alongside him. He ran to the truck, heard a deep elk-like grunt, and saw pines shaking with snow falling off as he left. He returned two weeks later and found snapped-off saplings.

5 November 2003 Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia Class B #7456

Unusual call silenced coyotes, frightened dog

On November 5, 2003 at about 9:30 p.m., the witness was outside with her dog at her home near the base of a mountain when she heard a loud, long drawn-out human-like 'ahhhh' sound from across the field. Coyotes that had been howling stopped for about 30 minutes and later resumed from a different location, and her large dog tucked its tail and ran home. The witness did not see the source, did not recognize it as any known wildlife, and said she felt it may have been a Sasquatch.

Possible approaches to a boat ramp on Kootenay Lake

The witness reports sleeping aboard a boat moored in a marina slip and repeatedly hearing a heavy visitor come down the metal access ramp late at night and walk across the floating docks, displacing the dock enough to rock the boat. The steps sound widely spaced and cover the ramp and dock sections unusually quickly. The pattern recurred at least once each summer holiday over several years, with a bucket of fish offal sometimes found emptied afterward and whoop-like vocalizations also heard.

Sasquatch sighting near Hope, British Columbia (1985)

The witness was on night shift at an isolated gravel pit and walked up the hill to the porta potty during a break on a bright moonlit night. He mistook an approaching figure for a co-worker, hid to startle him, then came face to face at about 15 feet with a very large hairy biped that grunted, producing a visible cloud of breath. The creature walked into the bush and snapped a large branch, the witness fled down to the crusher, drove to town, and later returned with his friend to find a torn branch and large spaced steps leading to a ledge.

Summer 1983 British Columbia Class B #2423

Hikers are followed by a 8-10 foot tall black creature, later that night they heard a series of roars

In summer 1983 a camp leader took an assistant and nine boys on an overnight hike on Tet Ridge. During the afternoon hike they repeatedly glimpsed a large black figure at a distance and found very large tracks and broken branches high above the ground. That night at a near-summit camp the group heard multiple loud roars and stayed awake by the fire, also hearing movement below. They found no further sign on the hike out and agreed not to tell others.

Sasquatch sighting near Port Alberni, British Columbia (1976)

A logger driving back toward the log landing in sun glare struck one of two hair-covered figures on the road. The struck creature fell into the ditch moaning while the larger one approached.

BFRO YEAR: About 1979 British Columbia Class B #2446

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.
