Witness Accounts

The report details a sighting that occurred in Alberta, Canada, in September 1975. The witness, an anonymous woman aged 18 at the time, recounts an unsettling encounter with a creature she believes to be a Sasquatch while at the 12T Davis Gravite picnic grounds near the Peace River. She and her friend arrived at the picnic grounds during dusk, a time when the area became notably quiet, with no birds chirping. The witness reported feeling an eerie sensation as she approached the restroom facilities, which were approximately 8 to 9 feet tall. As the witness approached the restroom door, she observed a shadow and heard heavy breathing accompanied by a distinct, musky odor. The creature was estimated to be around 7.5 feet tall and was positioned beside the restroom. She initially assumed it was a bear due to the noise and the height of the shadow. However, as she got closer, the creature revealed itself, moving on all fours with its rear end raised, sniffing the air in her direction. Describing the creature, the witness noted its light hair, which had a dark blondish tint. She mentioned that its body had sparse hair, more concentrated on the limbs and head, and that its face had less hair, giving it an apelike appearance. The hair was described as coarse, reminiscent of a horse's mane in winter. Upon noticing the creature, the witness began to feel overwhelming terror and retreated towards her car. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, who had remained by the vehicle, saw the creature and yelled for her to return. When she turned back to look, she saw the creature only a few feet away, still in an awkward crawling position. This close encounter heightened her alarm, realizing it was not a bear at all. As she ran to the car, the creature stood upright, displaying a more human-like posture. It began to scream and swing its arms as if in a fit of rage, chasing the car for a short distance down the hillside as they sped away. The witness reported that the encounter left her traumatized, and she vividly recalled the details almost 30 years later, indicating the impact it had on her. After the incident, the witness reported her experience to her mother, who shared the information with others. The next day, someone investigated the area but only found tufts of hair, with no further evidence of the creature’s presence. The witness later spoke with BFRO investigator Cindy Dawson, who found her credible and confirmed the details of the event during a lengthy conversation. The environment during the sighting was characterized by a forested landscape with pine and evergreen trees, short bushes, and grassy hills, where the peaceful setting contrasted sharply with the fears experienced during the encounter.
