Sasquatch sighting near Jasper, Alberta (2016)

3 May 2016 about 9 in the morning Jasper, Alberta

Account

While on a family day trip, the witness stopped at a scenic overlook to take photographs and heard loud snapping like trees breaking below. Looking down, the witness saw a large black bipedal figure with broad shoulders, a conical head, and prominent musculature standing less than a hundred feet away. After a few seconds the figure left quickly through the forest, and the witness threw a rock toward the area with no response before leaving with family.
