Shadowy figure seen on the roadside.

The witness was driving home from practice at night with his daughter when he noticed a dark area on a rocky hillside that seemed to absorb the headlights. As they passed, the daughter exclaimed about a black thing behind them and later insisted it had been standing, discernible by its profile, while the witness had thought it looked like it was sitting. The witness did not see details and on later drives at the same time of night never saw the shape again.

Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain

The witness was driving toward Edmonton with a relative passenger in late morning drizzle when a chimp-sized brown animal emerged from roadside brush. It crossed open ground and the divided highway from right to left in front of the vehicle and disappeared into brush on the far side, observed in profile running on all fours. The witness emphasized folded hands rather than bear paws, a small head with no snout, no visible ears or tail, and speed greater than a bear cub, and questioned whether it could have been a young sasquatch.
