Class A First-hand BFRO #1482

Sighting by campers

Spring 1983 approx. 7am New Brunswick

Account

The witness group was camping near Mills Creek in the morning when their two dogs rushed into the shelter acting frightened and staring toward a spruce grove. After keeping watch, the group briefly saw a dark upright shape moving away through bushes and about half an hour later heard repetitive grunting from a distance. The group did not investigate and left the area cautiously.
