Berry-pickers report sasquatch sighting in northern Ontario (CANADA)

 

 

 

July 28, 2008; CBC News (CANADA)

 

 

Two Ontario women say they saw what might have been the legendary sasquatch in

northwestern Ontario last week.

Helen Pahpasay and her mother were north of Grassy Narrows, Ont.,

about 230 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, to pick blueberries last

Tuesday when they spotted a hulking figure from their truck at about 10

a.m. CT.

" It was black, about eight feet long and all black, and the way it

walked was upright, human-like, but more — I don't know how to describe

it — more of a husky walk, I guess, " she told CBC News.

" It didn't look normal. "

The creature seemed to spot them, then ran off into the woods,

Pahpasay said. She and her mother debated chasing the creature to try

to get a closer glimpse, but were so shaken they decided to abandon

their berry-picking excursion and return home.

Others returned to the area later and found a large, six-toed

footprint, Pahpasay said. " What do I think it was? Right now I'm not

even sure what it was. But it really scared both of us, " she said.

" There's been talk of Bigfoot, sasquatch. And I'm still not sure what it was,

but I've never seen anything like it. "

Pahpasay says she and her mother aren't the only people in the area

with a sasquatch story. A couple of men from their community said they

also saw the creature three years ago, she said, and a similar animal

has been mentioned in old lore about the area.

" I've never believed it before, no. I'm not even quite sure what it still is

today, even after what I've seen, " she said.

Sasquatch, an aboriginal word meaning " hairy giant, " refers to a

large manlike creature some believe could be roaming woods from

California up the West Coast and across Canada.

In April 2005, a ferry operator in Norway house, Man., captured on

videotape three minutes of footage of what he said was a sasquatch.

However, the video, which was shown on an American television network,

was indistinct at best, failing to live up to its billing as " footage

of the century. "

In 2006, several people in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan

reported seeing a sasquatch-like figure in the woods around Flin Flon,

Man.

Skeptics say it's preposterous that a large mammal could have evaded

detection in North America throughout history. Despite numerous alleged

sightings, no one has ever produced concrete evidence such as skulls or

bones, they argue, while footprints, film or photos can be manufactured.
