Sasquatch sighting in Ontario (1998)

The witness and the witness's brother were canoeing past a sloping shoreline when they noticed what they thought was a black bear drinking. It walked a few steps on all fours, then stood up like a man and walked into the woods without acknowledging them. They dismissed it at the time as a bear sighting and later discussed how human-like and upright it looked.

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. The account was covered in a local newspaper in early July 1997 and was later summarized by an investigator who noted the witnesses were reluctant to speak with the press. Polaroid photographs are reported to have been seen by local residents, but the report provides no further descriptive detail.

Strange vocalizations heard in the Markdale area

The witness and one companion stood outside a rural house late at night and listened to distant, loud, high-pitched screams or mournful moans for about half an hour. The sounds faded in and out, at times requiring straining to hear, before growing fainter and stopping. Neither person recognized the sound as any known animal or human, and later comparisons by the witness pointed only to purported Sasquatch recordings.

Night time sighting by policeman on the Trans-Canada Hwy, ~100 miles west of Cochrane

The witness was a passenger in a truck traveling on the Trans-Canada Highway at night en route to a moose-hunting trip.

The driver reacted with surprise at the time but has since said he saw nothing. The whole crossing reportedly took about 10 seconds.

After the companion returned they found only indistinct marks and disturbed vegetation, then heard a single loud crack like wood being struck and fled the area.

Tracks in Ontario (1990)

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. The mass lifted a huge gorilla-like head and grunted, so she apologized and left. For months afterward she coexisted with it, banging her feet on entry and leaving when it vocalized, occasionally smelling it and leaving food.

Strange feeling of being watched reported by couple.

The witness and her husband paddled by canoe from a creek into a lake for a routine fishing trip. Near the lake opening they heard a loud hollow yell or scream from the far end and felt watched, moving into a nearby bay out of sight. In the bay they encountered a heavy overpowering unfamiliar odor and then left without fishing, paddling quickly back to their vehicle. They did not discuss it until after driving away, and the witness told no one else for almost 10 years.

Fishing Guide has sighting while trolling Deer Lake

In early July 1986 in the evening, a fishing guide motoring clients by boat toward a narrow rocky passage on Deer Lake saw a tall black-furred biped run and leap across the narrows into forest. The clients did not see it but heard branches breaking as it moved away, and the guide shut off the engine to listen until the sound faded. The guide later reasoned the size, bipedal run, swinging arms and lack of snout did not match a local black bear. A next-morning search found no footprints on the rocky shore.
