Time:  6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

 

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Big, and hairy.

 

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was in my outdoor hot tub on a cold February night, when all of a sudden I smelled this disgusting, foul odor that smelled like a cross between eggs and rotted flesh.

 

I sat there for a few moments, wondering just what could be causing such a smell, when suddenly I heard a great crashing in the small strip of woods in the field across from my house.

 

I held my breath, too scared to talk when I saw a the faint outline of what appeared to be a hairy man, around 7-8 feet tall, in the light of my upper porch light.

 

Scared to death by now, I waited for the creature to pass into the woods on the backside of my house, then I quickly jumped up and ran inside.

Hairy Tales Of The Northwest’s Mythic Man (Sasquatch)

Posted: February 8, 2009

By: Tanya Davidson

It’s been close to a decade since I started exploring the outdoors, and I have come a long way from the city girl who had never set foot in a canoe or off a well-signed, gravelled trail—yet the true backcountry still unnerves me. As beckoning as nature is, it also boggles with its sheer adversity, challenges with its imperviousness, and taunts with its secrets. Our Northwest wilderness harbours histories that reach back at least as far as the end of the last ice age, ten to twelve thousand years ago.

The original inhabitants of this land, generation upon generation of coastal and inland First Nations, spoke of upright, long-haired wild men (and women) of the woods. Many early European settlers and their descendents encountered a similar beast (and/or his tracks, smells, sounds, or nests). Houston, Babine Lake, Grassy Plains, Moricetown, Hazelton, Terrace, Masset, Juskatla, Skidegate, Klemtu, Hartley Bay, Kemano, and Kitimaat are just some of the many locations where the Sasquatch has popped up.
