Childhood incidents in Manitoba

1960–1969 afternoon on a bright sunny day Rossburn, Manitoba 2 witnesses

Account

As a child at her family's Manitoba farm, the witness was picking Saskatoon berries with her mother when she noticed a large reddish-brown hair-covered creature standing very close and picking and eating berries by hand. After she got her mother's attention, her mother screamed and pulled her back to the farmhouse, and the witness did not see the creature leave. The encounter happened on a bright sunny afternoon at less than 15 feet distance.
