Resting elk hunter smells and sees a sasquatch near Whiteswan Lake

25 September 2007 Early morning Canal Flats, British Columbia 1 witness

Account

The witness was hunting elk alone and had stopped on a stump for a snack when a very strong foul odor filled the area. He then noticed a very tall, dark-brown hair-covered biped standing about 50 yards away standing motionless. He glanced down to steady his rifle and when he looked back the creature was gone.
