Witness Accounts

On September 16, 2018, Tim Mrey and a companion named Brian Hen experienced an encounter with what they believe was a Sasquatch in the Kichi Wilderness, specifically at a location known as Camp Hardwood. The encounter came after several days of camping and exploring the area, which had already been characterized by unsettling feelings and strange sounds, including wood knocks and eerie howls. The witnesses initially arrived in the area, feeling a sense of unease upon entering the woods. As they parked their vehicle and walked deeper into the hardwood area, they noticed the atmosphere was "real eerie," and an unsettling feeling grew as they started discussing the phenomenon of wood knocks—sounds often associated with Bigfoot activity. Brian and Tim felt as though they were being watched, and both experienced a physical reaction, with the hair on their arms standing on end. During their exploration, a doe suddenly dashed past them, which they speculated might have been chased by a predator like a coyote or bear. The two men then proceeded to examine the area further and began hearing more noises that they could not identify. They noticed things falling from the trees, which they initially interpreted as acorns or small branches. However, the continued falling sounds sparked their curiosity further. While investigating these sounds, Tim turned his attention to a nearby burnt stump and noticed movement. He described it as something "black" peeking over the stump. He quickly communicated with Brian, urging him to come and observe the unusual sight. Tim instructed Brian to use his peripheral vision to catch a glimpse of whatever was behind the stump. As they both focused on the stump, they observed a large creature that they described as having no neck, a human-like face, and being covered in hair. Tim noted that the creature's head would rise and fall, indicating it was actively watching them. Upon closer observation, they confirmed that the creature's height was significant, estimating it to be around eight feet tall or possibly taller. As they continued to observe, the creature became aware of their presence, stirring an immediate sense of shock and disbelief in both witnesses. Tim and Brian were transfixed, unable to comprehend what they were witnessing. Tim noted, "I was just shocked and couldn't believe what I was watching." The creature would intermittently raise its head over the stump, allowing both men to see it clearly. It exhibited curious behavior, seemingly trying to gauge their intentions while simultaneously attempting to remain hidden. At one point, it moved along the ground, drawing nearer to the witnesses before retreating behind the stump again. Brian eventually left to retrieve equipment to document their encounter, leaving Tim to maintain visual contact with the creature. As Brian was absent, Tim noted the creature’s movements and its increasing agitation, suggesting it may have been upset that they had disturbed its hunting grounds. Eventually, the creature slipped below the stump and disappeared from sight. After this encounter, both witnesses chose to return to their campsite, discussing their experience extensively throughout the evening. They expressed a mixture of excitement and skepticism, grappling with the implications of what they had seen. Tim reflected on his certainty of the encounter, estimating that he was "95% sure" of what he had witnessed despite a lingering doubt. Following this incident, both Tim and Brian would later return to the area, hoping for another encounter. Their experience at Camp Hardwood significantly impacted their views on the existence of Bigfoot and stimulated further investigation into the phenomenon. In summary, Tim Mrey and Brian Hen's encounter at Camp Hardwood in the Kichi Wilderness on September 16, 2018, was marked by personal testimonies of witnessing an alleged Bigfoot. Their detailed observations of the creature's behavior and physical characteristics contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding the existence of Sasquatch in the region.
