A Vancouver Island, BC man recalls native Sasquatch anecdotes told to him by his girlfriend. He also relates personal experiences related to the local Sasquatch on the island.
"My girlfriend's father-in-law told me a story. He was roofing a house on Vancouver Island near a fish hatchery on the Cowichan River. He was with some native guys. Every night before dark they would leave early. They didn't want to be around when Sasquatch came to fish on the river. It will chuck rocks at you.
He knew a native woman on the island who was willing to share her stories from her youth and her tribe. She said the tribe has a secret society of women singers. Part of the initiation ritual is for the new singer to go into the longhouse and fast for a spirit vision. This is done to learn what animal will be your sacred spirit for your singing. She was starving and crying because of her hunger.
Then she heard something jump down onto the roof of the longhouse. She heard it walk along the smoke hole. She looked up and a Sasquatch was looking down at her. It then lowered a freshly killed deer down through the smoke hole, dropped it by the fire, and left. So her spirit became the Sasquatch.
The native woman, who I will not name nor her tribe, lived along the Chemainus River as a child. She remembers the Sasquatch would run beside their house and bang on with its hand scaring everyone. Her uncle also saw one on the Nanaimo River. She thinks they come down out of the mountains when the water runs low up there in late summer and also to fish when the runs are going on. She says her sister now hears them in her yard at night. They bang on the ground and make this big pounding noise. This all started after her tribe was given permission to begin logging on their land.
Last year, my girlfriend and I were camping at Sasquatch Provincial Park, and on the first night about 3 a.m. I got up to relieve myself. I got back in the tent and I heard a distinct two-tone call way off in the distance, followed by answering calls of at least two more. One was mid-distance and one on the mountain right above our campsite. This went on for 40 minutes. We had declared a 'no phones' campout, so I was not carrying any equipment. I woke my girlfriend and we listened to it. It was like they were letting each other know they were there. I jokingly called it a 'Sasquatch Roll Call.' We later listened to tons of wildlife calls and the only thing that matched was from John Bindernagel's investigation of mysterious calls in a native community up Vancouver Island.
The kids in the campsite beside us started mimicking it. I got up, banged on a tree with a stick, and it stopped. My native friend told me you got the knock wrong. I've heard from other natives that tree banging is a bad idea as it's a territorial signal so I may not do that anymore. It sounds legit to me."
