Hiker11's Sighting

[sebastian]

Hi Hiker11,
I start this new thread, so we can discuss your sighting last year. It is a very interesting report. If you don't mind, can you post your sighting here?

cheers,
Sebastian

Hi sebastion, thanks for this tread, Its abit strange for me talking about it, I know theres a lot of unbelivers out there, like I was untill last year, Ill start by saying around last may a friend and I were hiking in Golden Ears Park, were I have been hiking in since 1970s, we were way up gold creek and stoped by the river side,were the sandy beach area is, and my friend started throwing the stick for his dog in the water, while I was looking at the mountains with my binoculars, and looked at the little moutain side, and saw something move, I kept as still a I could and saw the sasquatch just sitting on a rock ledge, looking out to the east, then it stood up and then for sure I knew what it was, it was big at least 10 feet or 12 and grayish silver in color, I couldent make out his face, he was always looking east or north, I told my friend to take a look, so he could see it, and he has perfect sight, he couldent make it out, but saw something move and the 2 goldish things to the left of the sasquatch, what ever those were have no clue, I saw it for sure, watched it move from sitting, to walking to his left about 30 feet roughly, and saw its dingdong between its legs, so know this was a big male, then he came back to sit down again, with his arms out and hands on his knees, just like us, when I looked again just before we left he was gone, I have not been back in that area since and may never go back, depends I guess on if I can be talked into going back, not by myself thats for sure, no more hiking alone.

Hi Hiker11,

Firstly, I want to say that I am sorry I couldn't make it to your house with Thomas and Sebastian on Saturday morning. I was helping with moving my youngest daughter and her boyfriend. In fact, I'm still helping with the last of her stuff as I write this.

Secondly, I would like to say that your report rings as true now as the first time you explained it to me in detail over the phone shortly after you found those possible sasquatch footprints in the snow.

Although you didn't mention some of the finer details of the sighting on your posting here, I feel that a couple of very important things you observed during your possible sasquatch sighting (and pointed out to me during our conversation) have also been observed by sasquatch sighting witnesses in years gone by.

In any case, I'm happy you decided to share your experiences with sasquatch with all of us here at WCSR. Who knows, your information may someday prove to be the key that unlocks the mystery of sasquatch.

Hi Ken, thank you guys for helping me out with this sasquatch stuff, It was wierd at first, but now I know alot more about them, from you guys, and reading on this site, and can understand how they exist, hopefully meet up soon, Randy

[sebastian]

I will point out those matching details from the bygone years. Are you ready?

1. Randy reported that the height was between 10 to 12 feet.
Matched: John Green's "Encounters with Bigfoot" chapter named "What the Prospectors Saw". Location: Northwest of Pitt Lake. June 1965
".....The men discussed estimates of the creature's height, using trees near to it as a means of comparison: one guessing it at 10 to 12 feet, the other 12 to 14 feet....."
* I am not saying that Randy saw the same individual as those prospectors back in 1965. But extreme tall creatures seem to be geographically confined (like the Big Horn Dam/Nordegg area's extremely tall creatures reported in Thomas' book).

2. Randy mentioned that the plam of the hand looked yellowish.
Matched: The same prospectors' incident.
"...except for the hands, which looked yellow."
3. Randy reported the unusual way of standing up by the sasquatch.

Matched: Albert Ostman's story (pointed out to me by Ken).
".......To rise they came straight up without help of their hands and arms."

I think that this is getting interesting.....

cheers,

That sure is interesting sebastion, about those prospectors who saw one about the same hight, as the one I saw, and with yellowish hands, If it was the same one, if possible, it would be 42 years older than when they saw it, I wonder if sas can live a long life like us maby 70 to 100 years old.

I think that it's highly unlikely that the creature reported in 65 would be the same seen by you in 2006.

Hi Hiker11,
How are you? Do you have time next sat (I think it's the 24th of March)? The forecast looks good, and wondering if you want to go for a hike to the location?

cheers,

It is interesting about the colour and height variations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but silver is a rare colour in sasquatch sightings. So either it is the same one, or there is an inbred population in that area giving a higher likelihood of genetic recessives.

Usually inbred populations, producing a bottleneck effect called Founder's Effect in the genes, is caused by an isolated or "trapped" small population which must breed within itself to survive. Is it not the case that in the fellow that was carried off (whether you believe him or not), he said the purpose of the abduction was to provide the daughter with a mate? This account also supports the possibility of Founder's Effect in local pockets hereabouts.

It is interesting to note that backcrossing (inbreeding) creates a greater range of height in offspring, and since taller, larger male offspring would be favored in subsequent matings (both if there is physical competition for females, and if females choose larger, taller mates) then the population would tend to increase in both height and girth over time.

This is a possible explanation for the huge sizes people report and also presupposes that sasquatches of long ago were a lot shorter than they are now. I think the fossil record supports that, if you consider that the ancestors of sasquatch were not Gigantopithecus but rather an archaic homo species such as H. ergaster.

Hope I didn't lose you guys there. Just thinking out loud. errr, in print.

Hi, vilnoori I think I understood some of that, wow, sebastion I guess we could go back to the area on the 24th, I think Ill be brave enough to go back, maby my friend will come along too.

BCSCC has informed WCSR that someone reported a sasquatch sighting in 2004 along the shore of Alouette Lake in Golden Ears. I think that Thomas is now trying to get the background information about that sighting.

Hi, I was away for a few days, got back yesterday, thats interesting about the sighting at aloette lake in 2004, I cant wait to see what Thomas found out.
