A strange and unsettling incident occurred in the summer of 1982 or 83, as detailed in a video by the YouTube channel Bucks bigfoot storyteller. A group of summer campers, including the channel's host, had a harrowing experience while camping on Gerald Island, located near New Bay on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
The campers, who were on a canoe trip to explore the island, spent the day walking around its perimeter. As night fell, the campers decided to sleep on the beach while the camp leaders stayed up late around a campfire. The host and one of his friends, however, chose to sleep a short distance away from the main group.
It was then that the strange occurrences began. The other campers accused the host and his friend of throwing rocks at them, but they denied the allegations. Suddenly, the campers saw a fleeting figure running among the tree line towards the other group. The figure was human-like and gave the impression of being male. The rock-throwing continued throughout the night, with the projectiles being thrown with precision and force.
Despite the camp being Christian-based, the campers believed that the counselors were not behind the assault. The campers were frightened, and the host even had to go to the bathroom but was too scared to leave the safety of his driftwood shield. The onslaught continued until the morning, when the campers were finally relieved.
The host recently spoke to one of the campers who was with him on the island that night, and he confirmed the incident, although he didn't want to talk about it. The host gave a deep, knowing look when the incident was mentioned.
This story is a chilling reminder of the unexplained events that can occur in the wilderness. While the incident may not necessarily involve a Sasquatch sighting, it is possible that the strange occurrence was a result of one or more of these elusive creatures protecting their territory.
