Sasquatch sighting near Eureka, California
The witness had placed trash cans under his bedroom window after finding trash strewn near the woods. One night he woke to rattling, saw a cone-headed form at the cans, and watched it spin, drop to all fours, and sprint across the roughly 50-yard yard into dense rainforest-like brush at remarkable speed. At the time he dismissed it as a bear, but later interpreted the long arms and quadrupedal run as Sasquatch-like.
Campers have sighting above Pinecrest
A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust.

Girl has daytime sighting near Twain Harte
At about age 12-13 the witness returned alone to a stream and rock in dense woods behind the campground.

Possible vocals heard by family camping near Happy Camp
A family camping in a primitive riverside area heard an extremely loud, shrill scream from near their trash area about 50 yards away after paper bags flared up the campfire. The sound moved rapidly downriver for several minutes, fading to a deep growl, while the adult dogs whimpered and the family became terrified. The father packed up camp that night and drove the family home, and the family later felt the sound matched a purported Sasquatch vocalization heard on television.
Man recalls adversarial encounter with an unknown creature near French Gulch
During midnight rounds at an isolated school compound, the witness crossed a suspension bridge and heard something raiding trash cans by the cookhouse.

He noted glowing eyes and a foul stench, then returned to his trailer without anyone else responding.
Lady has two Northern California sightings, over a 20year period
While trolling for bass from a boat on a warm summer day with a companion and a dog, the witness watched a huge dark-haired biped walk to the water's edge and pull up what looked like a stick fish trap. The creature inspected the apparently empty trap, placed it back, then climbed a very steep slope effortlessly without looking toward the boat. The companion did not see the creature while the dog barked and howled throughout the several-minute observation from about 50 yards away.

Possible "Ohio howls" south of Shingletown (midway between Redding and Lassen)
While living at Manton from 1987-1989, the witness's family repeatedly heard strange howls in the evening 2-3 times a week.

Years later the witness and family heard the Ohio howl recording and judged it exactly the same sound.
Man has interesting experiences outside of La Porte
During extended thesis fieldwork in remote mountain country, the witness found a set of human-like footprints in fine silt on a meander of Upper Slate Creek, noting dermal ridges, five even-length toes, a square shape and no instep, with a 20-inch stride noted in follow-up. Three pieces of mottled brown feces with a faint odor were found with the prints. No creature was seen and no other person was present for this find.
Daytime sightings by Forest Service employee near Arroyo Seco
The witness stopped to rest during an early-morning fitness run near a lake area when he heard movement on a shaded, brush-covered hillside. About 20 feet away he saw a roughly 8-foot-tall upright figure that turned its upper body to stare at him before walking quickly uphill and out of sight. Shade prevented him from seeing facial details. He returned to the station convinced the figure was not human.
