1972 Alberta Class A #1402

Hundreds of tracks found near Peace River

Hundreds of very large footprints were found in hard river silt and followed for about two miles up the riverbank and into dense bush. The maker reportedly dug with its toes on a hillside climb and grabbed trees, uprooting smaller ones. The account was relayed by a relative of the tracker, with a track photograph later reported to exist.

September 1960 Hines Creek, Alberta, Canada, Alberta Class A #4899

Nighttime encounter by three brothers in northern Alberta

Three boys were herding cows home at night when the cows and dog fled near a granary by a ravine. They ran around the building and came face to face with a tall, dark, fur-covered human-like animal holding grain that stared at them briefly. The animal then turned and walked quickly on two legs into nearby bush. The boys later verified the wool coveralls were still at home and that a neighbor had not been on the property.

A surveyor and trader for the Northwest Company comes across tracks of an unusually large, unidentified animal

A surveying party traveling through the Rocky Mountains in winter came upon a large, well-defined track in shallow snow on ice. The track was measured at about fourteen inches long by eight inches wide with four toe marks and was seen extending about a hundred yards from north to south. The party chose not to follow it, with companions unwilling to pursue such a large animal with small guns, and the party leader recorded uncertainty whether it was an unusually large bear or something else.

BFRO YEAR: 1991 or 92 Lethbridge, Alberta Class B #15835

Possible Vocalizations heard in Southern Alberta

One evening in summer, the witness sat on the back deck of a home on the coulee banks and heard loud, garbled, female-like vocalizations from below the embankment toward the river. The sounds first suggested someone in trouble, then a mountain lion, but later the witness felt they closely matched a chatter recording. No creature was seen.

BFRO YEAR: 1987 or 88 Jasper (but Quite Far Away), Alberta Class B #10127

Possible tracks found in Jasper National Park

The witness was solo backpacking in the North Boundary area of Jasper National Park in 1987 or 1988. Near midday he found several very fresh, large human-like barefoot prints crossing the muddy trail at an angle from dense bush toward a bog. He estimated they were less than an hour old but took no photos and continued hiking, later concluding they may have been sasquatch tracks. He reported nothing else unusual for the rest of the trip.
