Daylight sighting by a hunter east of Alberta Hwy 22, near Hwy 532
Account
The witness was hunting deer on a snow-covered hillside when several trees were seen shaking in the distance. A black human-like figure emerged and ran upright down the steep slope waving its arms overhead, covering the distance in about ten seconds. The witness first assumed it was a person trying to disrupt the hunt, but after revisiting the site doubted a person could have shaken the trees or run that fast in deep snow.
