Witness Account:
I saw a Sasquatch standing in the road, when I lived in North Bay at 2601 Widdifield Station Road. I was driving home and it came out from the forest and stopped and stood there facing my way. I was too afraid to drive closer but I had stopped my truck to take a picture. Unfortunately I no longer have the picture. I showed friends who were shocked! I’ll never forget what it looked like. This took place near my home on Widdifield Station road.
Physical evidence:
I no longer have the picture unfortunately.
Additional observations:
It stood tall like a grown man, had grayish-light brown fur, long arms and legs. Had a big head, I couldn’t believe it stood there still facing me for nearly 5-minutes just staring at my red truck
Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Bob Strain
Upon contacting the witness, she had this to add:
"I'm 100% sure, I showed my neighours and family members the picture and they were all shocked. Trust me when I say that it was not a bear. I've owned 2 houses over the last 20-years and both in the forest, I've seen dozens of bears. This thing stood tall, had a weird shaped head (nothing like a bear), long arms, it stood there for several minutes just watching me with no movement. I could not believe my eyes."
