Possible sighting during BFRO's West Virginia expedition, Spring 2005

The witness was alone at a riverside base camp in the afternoon when she saw two dark, slender bipedal figures walking on the opposite river trail around a bend. When she reached the riverbank moments later they had vanished with no place to hide except a steep vegetated canyon wall. A radio check confirmed the hiking group had not passed anyone, and when group members later stood at the same spot they looked much smaller and bulkier than the figures.

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.

In the morning the group followed the direction of travel and found large wide footprints with a four-toe appearance in a sandy trail that had not been there the day before.

Brief night time sighting near Blaine

The witness was driving home with a companion at night when headlights revealed eye-shine ahead. As the car got closer he saw a dark, furry biped with human-like limbs standing by the road.

The driver stopped and looked but saw nothing further, and found only a loose fence post the next day.
