Sighting by camper at Camp Alexo near Nordegg

June 1998 mid-late afternoon Nordegg, Alberta 1 witness

Account

The witness, a child attending a summer camp, became separated from companions during a camp-wide game in the woods. After tripping over a log, the witness saw a very tall, upright figure covered in dark brown matted fur standing by a tree. The figure glanced briefly then walked away while the witness screamed, then the witness ran back to the group. A slight funky odor was also noticed.
