Forest Trunk Road

Date: August 2004

Occurrence: We

decided to go bush camping as usual along the forestry trunk road just before

corkscrew mountain (after the Town of Caroline) on the banks of the clearwater

river.

This time there was a group of us and we set up right along on the bank of the

Clearwater river typically there were no other people around us for several

miles and so we enjoyed the privacy and remoteness of this location but last

year we had a very un-nerving experience and we are not sure what to think of

it.

we arrived and set up camp and built up a campfire we then settled in around the

campfire as it got dark.

after awhile we all had the distinct impression of being watched and we could

hear the breaking of twigs and stomping of footsteps of something heavy circling

our camp this continued for quite some time until we decided to walk around in

groups and try to figure out what it might be, so armed with sidearms we set out

to find out what was creating the noises and as we approached the area which

seemed to be the location of the footsteps we were overcome by a nauseating

stench of animal/urine and feces it almost made us throw up. My friend and I

thought at first it might be a bear but both of us have hunted bear before and

they have never made a weird smell like this one so it left us really unsure as

to what it could be, we made it back to our camp but the smell seemed to be all

around us.

After a while as we built the fire higher and made noises to frighten off what

ever it was, the noises and sounds stopped and the stench faded. But the

wierdness of the sounds and the threatfulness of the footsteps left us freaked

out and wanting to move... which we did the very next morning we moved a few

kilometres up the road to seven mile where we enjoyed our weekend undisturbed.

This is my first time with a weird unexplainable expereince such as this but

after thinking about it I'm certain that it may have been a Sasquatch that

hassled us that night.

Witness: “Robin”.
