DATE: AUGUST OF 1997, THE NIGHT BEFORE WAS A FULL MOON IF THAT HELPS
LOCATION: BOWRON LAKES B.C. 500 MILES N. OF VANCOUVER NEAREST ROAD HIGHWAY 97 SPECTACLE LAKE OPPOSITE SIDE OF PORTAGE
OBSERVED: EVERY BODY IS SLEEPING BUT ME I WAS AWAKENED BY A FAIRLY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE ABOUT 200 YARDS BEHIND OUR TENT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME OF MY BROTHERS OR MY COUSIN SCREWING AROUND BUT HOW COULD THAT BE THEY WERE ALL SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO ME. SO I SHOT OUT OF BED AND RAN OVER TO MY DADS TENT AND STARTED SCREAMING IN A LOUD WHISPER , "DAD WAKE UP IT'S BIGFOOT, LISTEN". THERE WAS A BIG MEDOW THAT HAD A MOOSE TRAIL TO IT , ME AND MY COUSIN FOUND IT THE EVENING BEFORE AND WE SAW A FEW MOOSE. WE HEARD THE SASQUATCH'S ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MEDOW. MY DAD TOLD ME TO GO DOWN TO THE DIRECTION OF THE OTHER ONE THAT SOUNDED FARTHER AWAY AND HIT A TREE A FEW TIMES AMD SHORTLY AFTER THAT HE HEARD THE REPLY (IT WAS NOT AN ECHO) TO THE ONE 200 YARDS BEHIND OUR TENT AND THAT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES.WE QUICKLEY GOT THE CAMERA AND GOT DRESSED AND HEADED BEHIND OUR TENT WE DIDN'T HEAR THEM HIT THE TREES ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY HEARD US COMING AS WE WERE CREEPING BACK THERE WE WOULD HEAR BRANCHES CRACKING AND I FELT THAT WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO HIM OR HER BECAUSE HEARD WHAT SEEMED TO BE A VERY HEAVY HUMAN THAT TAKES VERY BIG STEPS.WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WE KNEW WHAT IT WAS WE WERE BOTH ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
ENVIRONMENT: I BELEVE THAT IT WAS CAMPSITE #49 AND IT ALSO HAD A BRIDGE THAT WENT OVER A SWAMP. THERE WAS LOTS OF BIG FIR TREES AND ALOT OF FERNS.
ALSO NOTICED: THE WHOLE TRIP THERE WERE NO WOLVES HOWLING BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT THERE WERE ALOT OF WOLVES HOWLING THAT WAS A VERY RARE INCIDENT.
ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES): SLEEPING I MADE VERY SURE OF THAT. I HATE BEING TRICKED.
