SASQUATCH Mimics & Acknowledges Alberta, Canada Camper

A Canadian man is fishing & camping at Cold Lake, Alberta when he notices a Sasquatch observing him. The man then raises his arm, and the Sasquatch mimics him.

“Honestly, I never got a conclusive identity on whatever it was I saw, so sharing it actually might help with that. This was about a year old, late August 2022, and I was fishing on Cold Lake, right on the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan. I had one of my most productive fishing days ever there, and kept a few walleye to cook for dinner, since I bought the tags for them. I tented on the north end of the lake, east of the North Bay Cabin, since I don't really like campgrounds much.

It was probably about 5-6 PM when I set up camp and got the fire going, I do remember I still fished from the bank for an hour or so until I eventually got dinner going. During that period is when I remember first hearing a lot more noises out of the treeline than before, not anything out of the ordinary, mostly just birds and the occasional squirrel. Eventually I started to get the feeling of something watching me, which actually got me a bit more worried than what I'd usually be as my first thought, albeit not the most rational one, was a cougar. I know what it feels like to be watched by one, it's uncomfortable to say the absolute least, and a terrifyingly surreal experience at worst. Each time I looked back, there wasn't anything watching me (that I saw). Eventually I lost interest, and began supper, which is when the sounds of the forest largely stopped.

Things felt...cold, dead. The forest felt dead. Now even more on guard about a possible cougar or bear, I moved away from the treeline and closer to the shore, as there was a bit of flat ground forming,almost like a beach. I didn't have a firearm at the time, but I did have a can of bear spray on my chest, which moved to my hand. There still wasn't anything visible through the treeline, but the faint sound of what could be footsteps cut through the silence of the forest. In all reality, it was less footsteps and more the sound of an animal moving through the brush that was heard. Weirdly enough it sort of relaxed me, as a cougar likely wouldn't be so carelessly loud, at least it did for a moment.

Aware that I was rather vulnerable in my position, I did begin backing up my stuff (thankfully my tent wasn't set up yet) back in my bag and got near the kayak. What I saw when I looked back up at the treeline not even 20 feet in front of me, however, was likely the most terrifying, yet uniquely beautiful moment of my life. Standing upright, half behind a tree, was a tall, maybe 7 feet, dark humanoid...thing. Vaguely like a Sasquatch, but much thinner, closer to the proportions of a human covered in reddish-brown hair/fur. All I could see was it's body above the waist, though it's arms seemed to extend further down. I couldn't make out much features, though the eyes appeared vaguely yellowish. Oddly enough...after the initial shock wore off, it didn't seem threatening, if anything I want to say it was...curious?

What I'm about to say next defies all common logic, all human reason, but as someone standing face to face with what could have been death itself, I raised my arm in the air. The best way I could describe this scene is if anybody has ever watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox, the scene at the end with the wolf. That's the closest thing I could compare it to. The creature didn't come any closer, nor did it make a sound, but instead oddly attempted to mimic me, raising it's long, thin arm in the air, before setting it back down and walking back into the treeline.

What I saw that day, the creature I witnessed, led me to reevaluate my opinions towards these animals, that they weren't just animals. These are intelligent creatures, and the time it took to kayak back to civilization immediately afterwards, and the time since then, has only reaffirmed my belief in that. Of all the encounters people have had with what could be a Sasquatch, I'm glad mine became almost a positive memory. Whatever I saw that day left an impression on me, human, Sasquatch, whatever." JS
