Friends' Repeated Encounters with Protective Bigfoot in Alberta Wilderness

A fascinating account of a childhood encounter with a Sasquatch has recently surfaced on the YouTube channel Cryptids Canada. The witness, who prefers to remain anonymous, shares their story of two separate encounters with the elusive creature, which they experienced while staying with their parents' friends during the summer of 1978 in Hinton, Alberta. The first encounter occurred while the witness and their friends were fishing at a local pond. They heard loud hollering coming from the woods, which seemed to be directed towards them. Although they weren't sure what was causing the noise, they eventually saw a torso behind a bush and realized it was a Sasquatch. The creature appeared to be aggressive, and the witnesses stood their ground, not wanting to show fear. After a while, it seemed to disappear, and the group was able to catch the fish they needed and leave the area. The second encounter happened a few weeks later while the witness and their friends were hunting small game. They spotted what they thought was a rabbit drinking from a watering hole, but it suddenly fell over dead. To their surprise, a hair-covered man stood up and walked towards the rabbit. The creature then noticed the witnesses and started running towards them. One of the friends shot a round into the air, causing the Sasquatch to hesitate and veer off. The witnesses were able to get away, but they were shaken by the experience. The witness later learned that the creature was known as the "Bushman" in the area and that it was important to give it space and respect. The lone Sasquatches do not stay in one area for long, and it was only after the witnesses learned to see the creature as a type of human that they were no longer afraid of it. This account is a fascinating addition to the body of Sasquatch sighting reports, and it's always exciting to hear new perspectives on the elusive creature.
