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. With a strong gelish frame, agility, and speed (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 in California.

The majority of the older listings are taken from Betty Allen's recordings, Bill Bishop's listings from Bob Titmus, the Times-Standard, Bud Ryerson, Syl McCoy, Dewey Haupe, Peter Guttilla, The Bord's Bigfoot Casebook and the Filbey's 1987 Northern California touring map, the remainder from books and other reports filed or sent into this website.

I rarely add to this page anymore, (2009) preferring to document witness reports by state. You'll find those left frame, under "sightings." That link used to be titled "State by State."
