Albert Ostman account -- Multiple-day encounter with family of Sasquatches

A prospector camping alone in coastal mountains awoke at night to being carried inside his sleeping bag for hours to a small enclosed valley. There he encountered four hair-covered individuals described as a family group and was held for about six days living on remaining canned food. He gained favor with the younger ones using snuff and handmade utensils, then incapacitated the adult male with a large dose of snuff and escaped during the resulting commotion, hiking south to a logging camp for help.

Memory told of a nighttime sighting while traveling on a mountainside near Rossland

The witness was riding in the back seat of a car driving up a mountain dirt road in the evening to watch the sky. In the headlights at a hairpin where a creek crossed the road, she saw a tall grey hairy figure bent over the creek. It stood, took a long stride, stepped up a steep dirt bank and disappeared into trees within moments. A companion in the back seat also saw it and was frightened, while the two occupants in the front seat were looking elsewhere and saw nothing.

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.

Possible stalking and rock throwing in the Fraser Valley

Three companions walking back from swimming along a forestry road felt watched and heard snapping branches and rustling paralleling their movement. When they shouted and threw rocks toward the roadside bushes, rocks were thrown back at them while growling sounds were heard and the accompanying dog barked. Frightened, they ran to a nearby activity centre and later told a parent, who suggested a bear.
