Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    August 1983
 

TIME:     Around 5 pm
 

LOCATION:   British Columbia, Canada
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    We were all kids then, I am 32 now but i remember it like it was yesterday. My brothers (one now deceased), my cousin and I were at my grandmothers farm playing with my dogs (German shepherd cross and a miniature collie). we were doing the usual kids stuff  when we heard the geese at the pond start freaking out and running up to the house where we were. We thought it must be a bear and thought nothing of it. we got bears a lot.  then our dogs just took off and hid under the house..that alarmed us a bit because our dogs were well known for running bears up trees and chasing moose. That's when my brother said  what the F--k is that. We looked towards the smoke house and we could see this huge ..."thing"; as we saw it..standing near the smoke house door. It was kind of concealed behind a huge cottonwood tree but we could definitely see it was there. We could not make out the facial features of it but it was bobbing back and forth from behind the tree..maybe a nervous reaction

I have has several cases since then where I was convinced that a sasquatch may be in the vicinity of where i was at..such as little "whoop whoop"; noises coming from a ridge above me while i was out with a friend checking out some scenery on a mountain side across from where some logging activity was happening.

I have never seen another one since 83 but I will tell your readers this...
if you see one of these things..remember that they are a wild animal and should not be approached..you would not approach a silver back gorilla right?? so why would you approach an 8 foot tall relative of one  lol
 

Activities of Witness:   we were laughing and playing with the dogs..my father thinks that is what attracted him to us.
 

Description of Creature:  the smoke house door was at least 6 feet and he easily towered it by a foot or more... id say he was fairly wide and stocky  but he kept in the shaded areas so we could not make out his color very well...he appeared to be a dark brown  but like i said  the shade hid him pretty well...just not well enough..
 

Other Notes:    the animals did not like it being there..thats a fact!!  My grandmother seemed to know about it already.

Also a few years earlier my father and a friend were picking berries and they heard a shrill  cry that sent chills up their spine..my father insists that it was a bigfoot warning them to get out of their patch... i tend to believe him.

sometimes our ducks would go missing now that i think about it..i never really thought about that till now.. i remember constantly having to go look for them.. could be coincidence though..stuff like that happens on a farm
