Witness Accounts

In the early 2000s, a witness who operated a floating native gift store at Village Island recounted a notable encounter shared by two kayakers who had camped on nearby Turner Island. While the witness was preparing soup at home, the kayakers entered the store seeking clarification on unusual rock-throwing sounds they heard while sitting in their campsite. The witness engaged them in conversation, discovering that the sounds originated from the trees behind their structure. The female kayaker reported hearing small pebbles and rocks being thrown, which prompted her concern. The witness explained that, while various animals inhabit the area, the sound of rocks being thrown could also be associated with Sasquatch, or “buus,” a term used for the creature in local lore. The witness referenced the documented behavior of primates by researchers Diane Fossey and Jane Goodall, noting that such rock-throwing behavior is characteristic of primates when threatened or curious. After expressing their fears, the witness offered to assist the campers by bringing their tent to a safer location. Upon investigation of the campsite, the witness observed a freshly snapped tree branch, suggesting a significant weight had caused the damage—an occurrence they deemed unlikely to be caused by a human or typical wildlife such as bears. This tree snap was characterized by the witness as consistent with Sasquatch behavior, which includes creating structures or nests and breaking branches to mark territory. The witness further described their long-standing belief in the existence of Sasquatch based on personal experiences. They recounted a previous encounter in 1994, while out on a boat with three crew members. Using a spotlight, they observed two large creatures, likely Sasquatch, about 100 yards away. The creatures seemed to be in a crouched position, which the witness likened to the behavior seen during traditional dances performed to represent Sasquatch in local culture. Throughout the discussion, the witness conveyed detailed knowledge of Sasquatch behaviors, including vocalizations that resemble chirps and whoops. They stressed that anyone spending time in the area, especially during specific seasons like October and November, is likely to hear or observe signs of these creatures. The witness concluded by advising caution to visitors and campers in the area, emphasizing a respectful distance from the creatures. They highlighted the risks associated with ignoring signs from Sasquatch, including the potential for missing persons in the wilderness, as many stories circulate about individuals who have gone missing without explanation. The transcript provides a compelling narrative about the close association between local culture and the legends of Sasquatch. The detailed observations and accounts from the witness suggest a deep-rooted understanding of the behaviors attributed to these elusive creatures. This account illustrates the intertwining of local folklore with personal experiences, presenting a broader perspective on the significance of Sasquatch in the region.
