Footsteps in Alberta (1969)
Account
At age eleven the witness walked through a bowl-shaped mountaintop to flush game toward his father and friend. From below the rim they heard heavy thrashing and crashing that sounded bipedal and smelled an intense garbage-like odor carried on the breeze. The sounds and smell then stopped and they did not investigate.
