Possible Sasquatch encounter

[Deleted]

Back around 2003 I was driving in a vehicle with three other people I had just met. I was in a professional role so this experience was a bit awkward. We were driving from Harrison Hot Springs, and somewhere along Rockwell Drive near Sasquatch Provincial Park.

We all saw a creature that appeared like a Bigfoot ahead and then it ran across the road in front of us. We speculated that it might have been someone dressed up in a suit, although not sure why they would be on that stretch of road, where there were no houses anywhere nearby.

It was late afternoon and not dark out at all. We had all said how if it were a costume, it looked very realistic, because the creature looked very much real and like half-ape half-something else, but much larger.

This was in 2003 or 2004, but I recall the behavior of the creature, was like that of a real creature. As if a large ape were in the woods and then saw a vehicle coming. It looked briefly at the vehicle, then darted across the road and into some brush where it could no longer be seen.

I've told a few people about this story, but never made a "Sasquatch report" before. I decided to do so, after watching a tv show where a paranormal investigator said that the Bigfoot was one of the creatures that had mostly been debunked, where the Mothman was not. I think if I saw that creature that looked and acted like that, where I saw it, and near a park called Sasquatch Provincial Park due to historical sightings, then I'm not convinced Bigfoot has been debunked at all.

And I'm suddenly more interested in the local history of sasquatch sightings in that area. I think it should be investigated more.

Hi mishy,
Great sighting. I personally think that the "person in a suit" explanation is grasping at straws. There are very few sightings that can be attributed to that. One case in Manitoba in a park, another here in BC was a planned party event or something.

Anyway, I have some questions, if you don't mind?

1. What time of year was it? What was the weather like?
2. What did it look like? How tall? What colour? What sex? How fat or thin was it? How did it move, like a human, or was there something different in the way it moved? How long was the fur on the creature?
3. Was it carrying anything?
4. Did you hear or smell anything?
5. How did it respond to your group/vehicle? Did it turn to look at you, or just ignore?

Did you get any more information on this?

Too bad there was no additional information - although a single post sounds rather dubious. I know if I were to see one, I would certainly recall the date of the event - at least the year it happened.

Then again people forget their wedding anniversary

nothing about this sighting could ever lead to anything.
something darted across a road.
essentially that's it.
no photo, no tracks, no nothing really.
they don't even recall when it was, even though it was fairly recent, not like a childhood memory.
these reports are a dime a dozen and at best give a position to put another pin on a map.
