Sasquatch sighting near Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (2006)
Account
The witness was dropped by helicopter on a mountain top to troubleshoot a seismic line and hiked down alongside a large scree field. Hearing steady rock-rolling sounds, he approached quietly and watched a slender hairy female and two small juveniles foraging among rocks and putting items in their mouths. A much larger female then emerged and caught a small rodent, which a huge male rushed out to snatch and eat. After the animals stood and scanned the treeline while sniffing deeply, the witness radioed a bear alert, a helicopter buzzed the area scattering the group, and he returned to the helipad where the pilot said others had reported similar encounters.
