My Thoughts On Sasquatch

Last Monday I was in a store which had a rack of books dedicated to Sasquatch as well as other local interests.After looking through a couple of the Sasquatch books I made my way to the cashier.Well waiting in line I noticed a couple of gentlemen over at the books,they then started discussing Sasquatch.One was a firm believer while the other was smirking and chuckling about the topic.It was at this point I cut into the conversation and told them that I was a believer and that I had had my own sighting years earlier.The one gentlemen who was a non-believer laughed and asked me if I was drunk when I saw the creature.This is a very common reaction to people who have not had there own experience or have chosen not to believe,this is also why a high percentage of people who have had sightings don't talk or report them.It is my belief that people usually laugh to these types of conversations for 2-reasons.#1 they think that the witness is joking about his/her experience.#2 there mis-informed (un-educated in this topic).It is also my belief if a person actually took the time to become educated in this topic they would at a very minimum leave it with a better understanding and have more respect for those who do believe.To those of you who come to my site and don't believe ,take some time ,go through my site and the links,educate yourself .Hopefully when you are done you will have a bit more respect for the Sasquatch and the people who believe.Oh ya one more thing,If you don't believe then why are you on my site???Something peak your interest???To those who have had an experience and have yet to report it please fill out my report form further down the page and if you would like to remain anonymous your name will not be published.

Kwai Lake (Strathcona Park)

I received a report, Jan 6th 2010, from a man who may have had an experience with a Sasquatch near Kwai Lake in Strathcona park, during the summer of 2006.The following account is that of the witness.
"One night in the late summer of 2006, 2 of my friends and I had this crazy idea to go hiking.We went and bought some flashlights and started our hike from Mount Washington parking lot at 10pm. We were having a few drinks and not worrying about anything,the moon was bright enough to see when we were hiking the rocky sections but for the wooded areas we needed flashlights.We were just passing an open area and heading back into a wooded area with flashlights on,one of my friends stopped and said "hey guys listen ....nice,quiet." (Too quiet but I didn't realize) My friend said "the sound of silence." Then all of a sudden it was like a hundred birds squawking right behind us,so loud you could feel it pounding your chest. I screamed "SASQUATCH" :like a reflex without even thinking about it we started running and quickly ran out of energy. We huddled behind a large stump that was covering our backs. We then took off our back packs and took out our hunting knives,we turned off our flashlights and prepared for battle.It sounded like the sound was moving around us but not getting any closer so after a few minutes of being totally freaked out we quietly put our back packs on and got out of there.As we walked the sound faded away from behind us and we started to feel more safe.We got such an energy rush knowing we witnessed something amazing.

Follow up:
I asked the witness to describe the sound he heard in greater depth,the following was his explanation;
"The only way to describe it is that it was like a gogoll,gogoll,gogoll,gogoll,gogoll,gogol it was continuous,no breaks between,we were actually thinking there was more then one like one after another going back and forth and it may have been smashing branches and stomping to get that powerful bass sound.I don't think it was following us.I think it just wanted us out of it's neck of the woods".
I also asked the witness if he or his friends ever had a visual of what might have made the noises and the witness said "We had no visual and I don't regret it,I don't think I could of handled it at the time.Whatever it was,it was big".

Notes:
Witness thinks it was in aug 2006 ,he could not confirm exact date of incident.
The experience happened in a wooded area about 2klm before Kwai Lake .
The witness had not heard of any previous incidents in this area.
The moon was bright,no clouds in area.
Between May and Aug of 2006 there were several reports all over Strathcona park which included possible Sasquatch sightings,rock throwing reports and vocalizations.
Wildlife biologist years earlier had lifted plaster moulds of Sasquatch tracks not far from this report at Lake Helen Mackenzie.
