DATE: Early 1950's

LOCATION: LOGGING CAMP BETWEEN PEACHLAND BC AND PRINCETON BC

OBSERVED: It is a well known story among the oldtimers here that the camp cook at a logging operation in the thick woods saw what she described as a sasquatch when all the men were out of camp falling trees. This would have taken place in the early 1950's I think. There is a picture of the loggers and sophie in the history book called Peachland memories. I believe a man who was there and still lives in Peachland may shed more light on the incident--Gordon Sanderson.

ENVIRONMENT: Thick Jackpine forests.

ALSO NOTICED: No other details known by me

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): Preparing food in logging camp

Submitted by (confidential) on Friday, July 10, 1998

DATE: as I can remember about 1972. certainly the first half of the 70s

LOCATION: Near the town of High Level in northern Alberta, Canada. The exact location is about 45 miles east of the town of High Level on the banks of the Peace River.  

OBSERVED: What was found was hundreds of very large foot prints. The toes were in many different positions in many of the tracks ruling out as I see it one solid mold making the prints as well as these prints were sunk into hard river silt where a 200lb man had to jump to even make a mark. In addition to this the tracks continued quite some distance and were followed by my cousin for about 2 miles up the river banks and into the bush, as it climbed the hill it used it,s toes to dig into the hill side to get better traction. It also grabed trees to help pull it,s self up the smaller of which were torn out by the roots.

ENVIRONMENT: This area is very isolated. There is only one road into this part of Alberta as a quick look at a map will show. There are a few farms in this area. The ground is fairly flat save for the river banks where this occured, but even the river banks that far north are not great about 50 to 75 feet. The forest is very dense and lots of it. The bush extend south for about 250 miles and goes north to the tundra ( mabey 500 or 600 miles ). millions of acres anyway.

ALSO NOTICED: My cousin told me that he did not believe in sasquatchs up to this point in his life and really doesn,t know what to think now but one thing he does know is that what ever made these tracks was living breathing and walking on to legs and was not a man. He has lived in northern Alberta all his life and would not be easily fooled in the bush. This storey of his has been the basis of my facination with the subject for many years now.

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): I,m not sure who first found the tracks but they quickly became the focal point of everyones activities. But as far as I know my cousin was the only one who acually followed them.

DATE: January 1993

LOCATION: Canada, Nakusp, British Columbia Southern, B.C.,

OBSERVED: Information supplied to me by a forestry technician, Footprints - he was flown 100km(1/2hr ride) by helicopter out of Nakusp, B.C.(50 miles from the nearest road). The Helicopter landed in an alpine basin(bowl/Cirque). The month of the incident was in January, and this person was to do road layout . He noticed tracks of naked feet, normal size(10 inches long, with a normal width, and he thought, he saw a couple footprints in the snow and then they fell throught the snow. He thought who the heck would be walking around in the winter, but he had work to do, but came back to the helicopter and asked the pilot if he had walked around in the bowl, and the pilot said no(usually they stay close to the helicopter). He thought that the pilot had been playing a trick on him, but I believe it was at the start of the day. but he said that he knew of no reason why someone would be out in the middle of knowhere at(10-20 below) making bare tracks in the snow and it would be costly to place tracks in the middle of nowhere., B.C.

ENVIRONMENT: Spruce/Alpine Fir forest Cirque/bowl - high elevation West Kootenays - Mountainous country

ALSO NOTICED: none

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): Working in the bush - these guys have no time playing around making non boot tracks in the snow, let alone it would be kind of cold on the feet.

CONFIDENTIALITY: I'm a bigfoot researcher in Northern B.C. and I will post several incidence for the record mostly from forestry incidences that I know of from forestry people(technician) working in the wilds of B.C. I suspect 50-100 incidences a yr but only 10% of them get reported.

COMMENTS: Missed info, sorry. Approx. six footprints on top of the snow Size 11 - toes shown- wider than a humans footprint not a bear print

DATE: Approx. 4:00 o'clock, Fall of 1995.

LOCATION: British Columbia, Canada, Nearest City Prince Rupert,B.C.,Princes Royal Island-, closest Native community is Kelmtu(100people). Incident occurred on the East side of Princes Royal Island(Mid-Island) The Island is Approximately 400km long and is 2km from the mainland. Person accessed old cutblock by floatplane. It is called the Spirit Island(Keremodi(rare white bears)Island.

OBSERVED: Incident described second hand to me by a forestry technician who moved from the Prince Rupert District, and he was told the incident from a Female forestry technician and he vouched for her that she doesn't BS or tell lies and was shaken up about the incident. She went by floatplane to check on a Spacing project on a old cutblock(harvested in the 1970's). The spacer's had finished the project and she was alone on the site. She was finished checking the site, approx. 4:00 in the afternoon and was walking out of the block on an old road. She was walking down a hill and she noticed something watching her, she turned around and saw a tall Furry (Dark Brown,long armes)animal taking two strides and hiding behind a large boulder. When it walked it was bent at the knees. It was not a bear. She was spooked and took out her bear Mace(guard) and took off towards the beach(pick up spot) at I would say a good pace.

ENVIRONMENT: On Old road within a Spaced Cutblock, Coastal trees(Hemlock, Douglas-Fir,Cedar), probably steep mountainous terrain at the center of the Island.

ALSO NOTICED: None noted

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): finishing checking a spaced block, walking down a logging road

CONFIDENTIALITY: Forestry field technicians wanted confidently-and I collected the incident from her co-worker

COMMENTS: Newspaper article-told to me by the same forest Technician. Prince Rupert paper, Two fisherman hit a rock in a Storm, and bailed out of sinking fishing boat,into a lifeboat, they made it to Banks Island,100 kms from Kitimat, B.C. They radioed out for rescue help, and spent a couple of days on Banks Island waiting for rescue. Late one evening they saw a bigfoot walking on the beach, One came and checked out their camp, they noticed large tracks around their camp, they didn't hear the bigfoot. The incident happened in the Fall of 1993.
