Possible encounter close to the hospital in Smithers

Around midnight the witness was with two friends in a small forest near the house when they heard a large branch snap.

Companions did not see the figure, and the next day the witness found fresh paths and broken and uprooted trees in the area.

Daylight sighting by motorist on Hwy 4 near Kennedy Lake

The witness was driving along a highway beside a river with a companion when he first mistook an animal on an overhanging tree or log for a bear. Looking back, he claimed to see a large ape-like creature crouched over the water with an arm extended toward the river as if trying to catch a fish. He said he clearly saw human-like facial features and was certain it was not a bear.

Strange, tall creature seen crossing the road at Kennedy Lake

The witness and a relative were stranded after a vehicle breakdown and were flagging traffic with flashlights. About an hour after dark they saw the silhouette of a tall, very skinny biped cross the road about 30-40 feet away toward the lake. It walked upright with a slow, smooth gait and large steps, described as kid-like, smaller than a standing bear, with long arms and a humpbacked appearance.

Hunter finds possible tracks just off a logging road close to Harrison Lake (w/photos)

The witness and his son were hunting and looking for sasquatch sign in a clearcut late in the day. The witness found a line of very fresh barefoot-like tracks on a gravel bank that made a sharp turn toward the road, with one showing a crescent of toes. He concluded a sasquatch had passed minutes earlier. After heavy rain eroded the tracks, he photographed the site and cast the one track that retained detail.

They waited until daylight, found nothing at the spot, then broke camp and left.

Sasquatch sighting near Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (2006)

The witness was dropped by helicopter on a mountain top to troubleshoot a seismic line and hiked down alongside a large scree field. Hearing steady rock-rolling sounds, he approached quietly and watched a slender hairy female and two small juveniles foraging among rocks and putting items in their mouths. A much larger female then emerged and caught a small rodent, which a huge male rushed out to snatch and eat. After the animals stood and scanned the treeline while sniffing deeply, the witness radioed a bear alert, a helicopter buzzed the area scattering the group, and he returned to the helipad where the pilot said others had reported similar encounters.

Early morning sighting on Vancouver Island near Cowichan Lake

While driving to work before dawn on a logging road, the witness encountered a dark figure on the road and initially assumed it was a bear.

The witness described a tall, dark-haired, unclothed biped with lighter patches on its back and rump that never looked back. Later that day the witness found and photographed indistinct footprints at the site.

Possible knocking heard by hikers in the Chilliwack valley

The witness and a companion were hiking out from an overnight camp when they heard rhythmic tapping like stones striking together from two separate spots in the trees. They considered the alternating sequences might be communication or a distress signal. After the companion struck rocks together four times, they heard seven quick taps in reply followed by silence, then they left the area.
