Mount Revelstoke

Date: July, 14/ 2005

Occurrence: I was never one to believe in Bigfoot-even as a kid I thought it was silly. My family and I just got back from vacation-from Independece Mo. through the Northwest. We were in British Columbia on Highway 1, July 14-2005 at 6:15 p.m. We just passed Mt Revelstoke and were descending down the mountain. There was a semi-no load and two cars in front of us. We were going about 50 miles an hour when something big ran out in front of the Semi. He slammed his brakes on forcing the 2 cars and us to do the same. A day earlier we had saw an elk at Bannif National park, so that is what I thought it was at first. You could see it through the trucks back window and the top of the head stuck out over the Semi's roof, putting it at 7 to 8 feet tall. This was a potential deadly situation, if my companion had not been buckled she would have been thrown through the windshield, plus we were on the side of a mountain. As it cleared the truck I noticed three important things.

1. It had two legs- not four-black as night hair and big.

2. It turned and looked right at us-It had the face of a gorilla except flat nose- slight silver and gray highlights around its face, round human head, small to medium ears that stuck out not folding in-hairy face.

3. It was massive- huge muscled arms back legs- like Shaq in a monkey suit. It walked perfectly upright- no gait like the fake films. No limp, swagger, just calm and straight up.

It had no worrys, not concerned or scared of the traffic, just walked right across the street. It stepped right over the 3 ft gaurdrail without breaking stride, didn't bend knees, stoop or lean, just right over like it was a hurdle. The traffic sat their shocked for a minute before finally crawling ahead. I pulled over to where it stepped across to see if I could see it. It was a sheer dropoff 4000 feet straight down. It was open fields of rocks and boulders as far as you could see-like I said straight down with 2 unclimbable cliffs on both sides- so their must have been a cave down there somewhere. It seemingly disapeared in thin air. My 3 kids were screaming what is that, and honestly I still don't know. We had just visited Vancouver Zoo a few days earlier and saw grizzlies, elk, moose, gorillas, ect and it was bigger than all of them. It had no fat- lean and trim, just ripped with muscles. It looked as if it could have easily picked up the truck if it wanted. We saw a family of mountain goats go down a cliff 3 days before, and there is no way they could have went down this sheer drop off- so I am amazed that is just calmly steeped right over the cliff like that. I had a video camera and a 35mm right next to me but it happened to fast. We were more concerned not dying in a car crash. I have told a few friends who don't believe me-but I know what we saw as a group-Like I said I KNOW WHAT WE SAW!!!! It was sunny out-no tricks of the light-no clouds ect. It was not a joke, it could have been very deadly for all the drivers.

It was not a bear-it did not have a fat stomach!! Anyway, I have become one of those witnesses that I never believed. But as God is my witness, it was 20 feet in front of us and we got a perfect but brief look at something amazing. It is out there, it is real, and one day it will get hit by a car and we will have proof. It is the most magnificent creature we have ever saw, like I said just ripped.
