TIME: 1:00 am
LOCATION: Ontario,
Canada
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: We
were trekking through the forest at night. Myself, two other
buddies and a dog. We were looking for a shelter we had made
before and wanted to make it there by sun up. When we
arrived to the location, about a kilometre up river from the
main lake, we all saw extremely large tracks in the deep
snow. I personally walked in the tracks and found that they
were too large to be a humans tracks, however they were in
two legged right left right left pattern. The space between
the tracks were about a yard. They were not bear tracks or
any four legged mammal tracks. They lead across the area
where our shelter was and off into the darkness.
Additional Things:
N/A
Activities of Witness:
We were
snowshoeing in the forest to find a shelter we had made that
fall. It was fairly far from the lake and surrounding
cottages. Far enough that no one would venture out this far,
especially in the winter.
Description of Creature: The tracks went deep into the snow
which meant whatever made them was heavy and tall. It was as
if a giant of about 8 to 9 feet was walking in this area.
Other Notes: N/A
Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General
Area) Notes:
Since
then I was hiking by myself in the early summer of this year
when I saw what I thought was a black bear. At first I
thought it was someone running through the woods, but then I
saw that whatever it was, was black and hairy. For some
reason the vision that has stayed with me reminded my of a
Gorilla, running on all fours. Until now I just always
thought it had to be a bear but because I saw it so fast,
and immediately retreated to my kayak, I cannot be certain
what it really was.
