Witness Account:
When I was a young boy, 8 yrs old, I saw what I believed to be Bigfoot. The image is still burned in my like it was yesterday. I was picking up rocks to shoot in my slingshot when I looked up I saw the hairy being, standing on 2 legs with long arms, at least 7-8 foot tall, staring at me, he was about 50 yards away. He was standing by an orange corner post on a newly cleared pipeline line, so I could estimate the height. His face was very hairy also. I froze for a few seconds, that felt like forever. He did not make a move, I turned and ran all the way home.
Also in about 1979, Me and some friends were exploring the wild rivers of Canada, on a canoe trip. We were fishing beside a giant island, with rock cliffs, I seen a lean to next to the rocks, it was constructed by something, we went to investigate. I immediately smelt a sour smell. The lean to had feces and hair in the area, I collected samples and took pictures, but the pictures, feces, and hair samples were thrown away or lost. Have not been been back since, hope to one day visit this area again to get physical proof.
