Sasquatch sighting near Eagle Creek, Oregon

At age 15 the witness stayed home with her friend while her parents went hunting. After shutting the chicken coop door they saw a big white figure 75 to 100 yards away near the fence, visible from the waist up. A rock from that direction landed at the witness's feet, so both girls ran to the house, where the friend hit a clothesline, then locked up inside.

Daylight sighting by hunters in Spring Canyon, outside the town of Helper

While a group was slowly driving and looking for deer, two young men riding in the back of the pickup saw a dark, long-armed figure walking quickly across an open grassy ridge toward pines. They described long strides and swinging arms and said it walked fast rather than ran. They banged on the cab to stop the driver, but the people in the cab did not see it.

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. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.

Hunting Partners Have Early Morning Roadway Sighting

Early one morning in 1972 or 1973 the witness rode with a relative toward a hunting area when headlights revealed an animal leaving an orchard and crossing the road on all fours.

The relative acknowledged an animal crossing but did not see the upright movement and later did not recall the event.

BFRO YEAR: late 70's Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, California Class B #13839

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.

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.

BFRO YEAR: 1987-89 Manton, Shasta County, California Class B #69291

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. The sound was thought at the time to come from the cleared swath up the hill along the penstock or powerlines. Years later the witness and family heard the Ohio howl recording and judged it exactly the same sound.

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.

BFRO YEAR: Early 70's San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles County, California Class A #325

Early 70's, Sighting by a deer hunter, off of Highway # 2, in the San Grabriel Mountains

Two hunting companions in a steep canyon area reported watching a brown figure about 700 yards away across the canyon. The figure reportedly stood up and walked on two legs uphill with a slumped posture for about five to six seconds before going out of sight, at one point possibly dropping to all fours on steeper ground. The witnesses first thought it was a person or a bear but felt its walk looked too odd for either. The encounter is said to have occurred on a clear warm afternoon in the fall in the early 1970s.
