The California Sightings List Page
Also see: State by State Regional Sightings database
Hundreds of people have reported seeing a large, hairy, human-like creature lurking in the remote regions of California, mostly Northern and central California. We can only imagine the numbers of encounters and sightings which have gone unreported. The average person doesn't know what he just saw and surely doesn't know he can report such things. If the thought occurs, he doesn't know who or where to report the encounter. There are several people in California and elsewhere who would be interested in listening to your report. They are listed below.
The highest rate of sightings and recovered footprints are in the Northwestern most part Northern California near the Oregon border around the Humboldt Forest, Bluff Creek, Hoopa, Weitchpec, Orleans, Somes Bar and Willow Creek, located between Crescent City to the North and Eureka to the South; between Interstate 5 and Highway 101 on Highways 299 and 96. Why this general location has more sightings reported is not known. Perhaps because an increase in summer back-packers, bikers, campers, fisherman, would-be trackers and the fact that much has been written about this general area and Bigfoot. A growing number of recent sightings have been listed in the Mt. Shasta region of California. In addition, many California Highway Law Enforcement and Forestry Service take these encounters and sightings as matter-of-fact and are for the most part go unreported as public sightings.
Other California cities with a number of reported sightings are Mt.
Lassen, Mt. Shasta, Weed, Round Mountain, Elk Creek, Caribou, Happy Camp,
Clear Creek, Trinity Alps, Weaverville, Salyer, Crescent Mills, Modoc
County, Lake Oroville, Hayfork, Hyampom, Vacaville, the Lake Tahoe area, Yosemite,
Mammoth Lakes, Bear Valley; and in the coastal cities of Eureka, Yreka,
Fort Bragg, Orick, Crescent City, San Rafael and Olema as far
south as El Capitan Reservoir and Alpine in San Diego County near the
Mexican border where a family of 3 were sighted in the 1970's by a San
Diego psychologist.
Unlike the Eastern reports, the California Bigfoot is extremely shy,
illusive and while he seems curious, he is rarely aggressive when confronted
by humans. Reports vary from state to state. Although kidnapping is sometimes
reported, the victim is never harmed. Occasional acts of Bigfoot heroism
occur, read sighting #61 listed in the Mt. Shasta area. Both sexes and
offspring have been observed, usually in summer and fall. Strong, agile,
and fast (one was clocked at 35 MPH), Bigfoot is a good swimmer and are
often seen near and around bodies of fresh water; streams, lakes and rivers.
They are notable for a putrid, rank odor. Bigfoot enjoys a broad diet
ranging from fish, rodents, and deer to fruits, berries and various vegetation.
Bigfoot calls consist mostly of whistles, howls and shrieks similar to
those of a mountain lion but has been reported imitating many different
forest sounds. Most of all, the sasquatch is huge in stature: specimens
up to 14 feet tall have been reported (tallest in Canada) with human-like
tracks ranging from 11 to 21 inches long but averaging about 16 inches
here in California. To follow are various sightings and encounters in
California which range from the earliest cataloged reports in the '50's
to today. While there is a report included here from 1886, it appears
that reports were feverish in the '50's and '60's. Only minimal attention
is given to such reports in the '90's; even less as the year 2002 nears,
sightings and encounters have considerably diminished. What that means
in terms of how many survived a general life span of 30-35 years (Fahrenbach,
'98 ISC Journal) or had surviving offspring is unknown. Gauging by the
diminished reports, I would say surviving sasquatches are indeed rare
and greatly outnumbered by elk and bears.
The majority of the older listings are taken from the Filbey's
1987 Northern California touring map, the remainder from books and other
reports filed to this website.
I rarely add to this page anymore, preferring to document witness reports
by state. You'll find those left frame, under "sightings."
That link used to be titled "State by State."
