Children see a bigfoot while playing near home

BFRO YEAR: 1983 or 84 around 4:30pm, just before dinner Kitwanga Indian Reserve, British Columbia 7 witnesses

Account

On a hot summer afternoon several children were playing on a grandparent's farm when geese and dogs reacted to something near the pond path. The group then saw a tall, broad-shouldered creature standing silently in the shadows by the smoke house watching them. An adult called the children inside, and when they were later allowed outside the creature was gone.
