Oilfield Medical Responder's encounter approx 70km southwest of Grand Prairie

The witness stopped a medical unit on a remote road after a winded elk jumped in front of the vehicle.

A boy's summer encounter in a Saskatoon patch in Strathcona Island Park, next to Medicine Hat

In the afternoon after swimming, the witness ran ahead of the group on a winding trail back toward the campsite. Stopped by a strong foul odor, the witness noticed a large dark furry creature sitting among berry bushes a short distance away. The creature stayed motionless and made a quiet chattering sound, after which the witness ran away while hearing it crash away through the trees. No one else in the group saw or heard the creature.

on about the fifth night Alberta #4f9c129b-7a51-4db7-ba43-3488f00c65be

Whistle in Alberta

A research group camped at a remote river location and stayed up late around a fire to invite attention. On about the fifth night whistling calls, heavy movement through brush, and a loud branch break approached camp. The witness watched through a night-vision monocular as a large silhouette crossed a road with a smooth gliding gait, and the group later found disturbed ground and footprints that were tracked for about a mile.

Thanksgiving day, October of this year Alberta #0b6c7b61-aa98-42b6-b9d0-9ae64cc0864e

Sasquatch sighting in Alberta

The witness and the witness's sibling returned to a friend's butcher shop property in the afternoon to cut and package smoked meat. While the witness was at a truck, the witness noticed a dark head-and-shoulder shape repeatedly peeking from behind trees across the road in a derelict yard. After the witness waved, the shape began swaying fully into and out of the opening, and a next-day reenactment suggested it was about nine feet high.
