I wanted to post this a few weeks ago when I finally got registered but other things got in the way so I'm posting it now. This experience is what got me interested in Sasquatch. Anyway, here goes.

In June of 1990 I and my brother-in-law planned a bushwhacking canoe trip in Northwest Ontario. We hired a float plane to drop us off on a lake that had access to several other lakes and streams. We plotted our trip on a map and instructed the pilot to pick us up at X location on X day. If you’re looking on a map the drop off location is probably 60 miles NE of Nestor Falls Ontario. The first couple days of our trip things were going great, we would pitch camp, fish all day and move on the next day. We were working our way to our final destination (which was a lake my father and I flew into several years earlier for a one day fly in trip). When we reached our destination we had three days to fish before the float plane was to pick us up. The first night we were camped there we were awaken in the middle of the night by a series of screams ( I have yet to hear a vocal from any of the Bigfoot sites that sounded exactly like what we heard)....not even sure I would call it a scream, it was certainly nothing I had heard before while bushwhacking it. The vocal would last probably 15-20 seconds then stop, and then start up again. This went on for about another 10-15 minutes. At the time neither of us could explain it. On day two of our stay on this lake we had finished up our dinner and were sitting around the camp fire when these large rocks (probably 8-10 inches in diameter) started landing in and around our campsite. At this point we were clearly startled. The rock throwing lasted about five minutes. We weren't camped directly below a large cliff or anything but there was a large cliff about 100 yards NW of our campsite. Both of us were very scared at this point and decided to stay up and keep the campfire going all night. Around 2:00 am the screaming started up again and it was clear to us that there was more than one "animal" making this racket. The next morning we decided to move our campsite to another location directly across the lake. We didn't want to leave this lake because the float plane was to pick us up the following day. That night in our new location we were not disturbed by any screams or rock throwing but something did take off with my daypack that had our maps, a spare fishing reel, and some survival gear in it. The pack was in the stern of our canoe that we had pulled up completely out of the water.

I know my account lacks any credible evidence but it was certainly a life changing experience for me personally. Granted I didn't see a Sasquatch, I didn't see any footprints nor did I find any physical evidence but I do know these rocks didn't come raining down on us by themselves. I know the vocalizations I heard were not from any animal I'm aware of. These things do exist, now we just need to prove it.

hi luv2sled good evening welcome to the bigfoot forums wow thanks for telling us about your not sure sasquatch encounter it sounds very interesting. do you have a photo of the area where this not sure encounter took place. please keep me posted ok. thanks bill

Welcome aboard!!!!

Wow! That must of been some time you had. Could you further explain the vocalization? Was it high pitched, low-pitched, steady, wavering, etc? Was it similar to any of the recordings available--not the same of course, as you said, but more like any out there as opposed to others? When you said there was more than one were the voices the same or different?

That's how it is here. We're very eager for facts!

Bill,

I have lots of photos of this areas. What exactly are you looking for?

Aaron

hi aaron thanks for the reply back to me. could post a photo of the exact spot where you had this not sure encounter so this way i can see if the area is suitable for sasquatch creatures to prowl around for awhile. thanks bill

Pit......with regards to the first vocalization we heard, it was very high pitched. The second night of hearing the vocalization there was more than one because they were coming from different directions. There wasn't a very big difference between them at all. I remember hearing two very close vocalizations and one that seemed to be much further away. When I say "very close", I'm talking like within 100 yards. It was tough figuring out how many different vocalizations there were. There is a good amount of granite in that part of Ontario, a lot of granite with all the surrounding water an echo does make. The one vocalization that I did listen to online that was closest to what we heard was a vocalization recorded in Sierra Nevadas.

Hello, Luv2sled. It's always heart warming to hear of another Ontario BF encounter! I'm not sure you know this, and I'm not suggesting you were on these lakes, but your 60 miles NE of Nestor Falls puts you in the general area of both Upper and Lower Manitou Lakes. Among the Algonquian Indians the word Manitou connotes spiritual beings governing life and nature, also a possible reference to BF. The western side of Nestor Falls is Lake of the Woods, another region of past BF sightings. Cool.

hi aaron could you please post the sasquatch sounds that you taped recorded in this thread if possible. thanks bill .

Bill.....I didn't tape record any bigfoot sounds. We were on a fishing trip and the thought of carrying a tape recorder never crossed my mind. Come to think of it being harrassed by something never crossed my mind at the time either. All I had was a disposable camera and the only thing I took pictures of were fish we caught and the beautifull scenery.

Bill,

I'm not sure how to post a jpeg file? I was going to post a Satelite image of the area. If you want just go to terra server or google earth and put in Nestor Falls, Ontario Canada. That will give you a good lay of the land.

Aaron

hi aaron maybe ask one of the moderators here to help you post your photos of the area where you had that experance. or someone else here could help you out with that if you email them the photos. are you planning on going back to the same area with your camera to look for sasquatch evidence. please keep me posted ok. good afternoon bill im looking forward on seeing the photos of the forest area posted in this thread. i wonder if hunters etc are haveing sasquatch encounters in that area today only time will tell.

Bill,

Just so I'm clear on this, you want photos of fish and scenery I took with my disposible camera in 1990? They aren't in a digital format but could be scanned. If I can figure it out I could post a Jpeg file that will give you a satelite view of the area we were in. Let me know.

Aaron

Bill,

Also, I currently do not have plans to go back in that area of Ontario looking for Sasquatch evidence. For me, not only is it very costly to get there (float plane) but the terrain and bugs are a major deterant if your going to try to get deep in the Bush. Remember, I was on a canoe bushwhacking/portage trip and didn't attempt navigating across land and around the thousands of lakes in the area.

I probably will try to do that trip again some day but it will be more for the fishing than looking for Sasquatch.

Aaron

Welcome to the Forum Aaron.

Great story. I'm jealous. Both the possible BF experiance and the fishing.

Thanks for being patient with everyones questions. You will find that's just par for the course here. We likes to ask questions.

Cool report; I too am jealous over the fishing!
I didnt see this discussed so I was wondering if you noticed any kind of foul smell?

Whatever it was must have had quite a set of lungs to scream (or something similar) for 15 to 20 seconds and go on for that long. I assume you are certain it couldn't have been coyotes or wolves? Anyway, their are lots of critters that go bump in the night, so hard to say what it was without recordings. The fact that rock throwing also was involved does make it curiuos. Certainly what you have reported is consistent with many alleged BF sightings and/or encounters. There's just no way to know for sure. Whatever it was, I can imagine it was quite a hair-raising experience.

Edited to add...welcome to the forum!

I have spent hundreds of hours walking the Canadian bush in all directions of Nestor Falls. Beautiful country, and very rugged, very remote and desolate. Always believed it to be good BF country. Alot of Granite is right, so much that it is very hard to find tracks in MOST of the area. If you wanted to, you could go along long ways without leaving a track any where in this country. I personally have never found any evidence here.

By the way, for those that are jealous of the fishing, its now as good if not better that it ever has been, so pack up and head north. The Walleys and the Smallmouth WILL cooperate!

hi aaron good morning you should check out your local forests in your state for sasquatch evidence such as footprints etc. always have your camera on you. thanks bill

Thanks for all the replys folks. Just to follow up on some of your additional questions. Yes we did notice a foul smell on several occasions (skunky smell) but at the time I just dismissed those as black bear near by as they tend to smell skunky as well.

With regards to the vocalizations I heard, there is no way they were Coyote or Wolf, I've been going to Ontario for 30 years and have never heard a Coyote or Wolf sound like that. These vocalizations were more ape like......something you would hear in the jungle when two chimps were fighting with each other. I've listend to all kinds of vocalizations from known animals since I was on this trip and have yet to hear anything remotely close to what we heard.

Hey Heep........have you ever fished Kishkutena?

Sled, I've never fished this area at all. My time was spent shed antler hunting and deer hunting

Heep,

Kish is a great Musky/Smallmouth lake and is about a six hour portage from Nestor Falls(Pinus Lake). I recently bought a couple of cabins just North of Minaki on Big Sand Lake, spend a couple weeks a year up there fishing.

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Welcome to the forums and nice report. Since moving to Kenora Ontario a year ago I have heard many stories of Sasquatch around these parts. Unfortunately, I have not had the time or resources to adequately follow up on any of them. There is a lot of supposed activity around the Sioux Lookout area, and oddly enough, there has been stories of Sasquatch on Coney Island, a small island just across the bay from Kenora.

SAK.....yes, I know Kenora very well. What a great place to live, your very fortunate. I look forward to my annual trips up there every year.

Aaron,

Have you ever done any fishing etc. on the Aleneu Pennisula? I have heard a few stories about Sasquatch in that location . . .

Sak....nope, can't say that I have or at least I don't remember. As a kid my father use to drag me all over the place up there every year fishing different areas so it's possible I've been there before.

I've only fished by Atikokan and that was about 20 yeras ago. I spent a large amount of time at Clearwater Bay. Most of my walking and hunting is done on the Clydee bay rd. (sp?) east of Clearwater Bay. I've been in the Minnaki area before but have yet to hit the woods there. I'm seriously thinking about it though as I'm looking for a better area to hunt and that area has always been spoken highly of.

Just wanted to post a follow up to this report I wrote a few years ago. Earlier this month (June) I took this same trip in Ontario, exact same route, with the intention of mostly fishing but I also had recording and video devices in case I came across anything unusual. To my surprise (well, maybe not), we didn't hear, see or smell anything out of the ordinary. All in all it was a great fishing trip but not so great Bigfoot hunt.

Oh man...what better way to have an encounter...camping and fishing then to have the B/G tell ya that you are at his fishing hole. I am so jealous. Welcome to rooms. Thanks for the info on the encounter.

Hello Luv2sled. Welcome back.

Have you had a chance to listen to these recent recordings yet?

http://mivocals.moonfruit.com/

http://www.bigfootforums.com/index.php?sho...c=27047&hl=

I'd like to know if they are similar to what you heard.

And yes, I'm jealous too. I always thougt the Kenora area was one of the nicest areas to see on a drive across the country.

awesome story from Ontario, that would be frightening, I listened to those recordings from August last summer if true very scary experience, the only thing is allot of thos sounds could be done by humans, i and also know people that can make sounds like this, have they ever had the sound records analized? would be interesting to see if they did and what came out of it, and have they gone back to this spot and try again?

Yes they sure have Northern,

Try the second link. Tells all about it.

thanks will be interesting to see when they go back if anything happens, usually second encounters don't happen

I just listened to all of the recordings and have to admit that none of them sounded like what I heard up there that week. In fact, I'm not conviced that those recordings are not hoaxed. They sound pretty human to me.

Thanks Luv2sled,

I think if they were hoaxed then it was a hoax perpetrated on the researchers as their reputations are as close to impeccable as you're going to find in this hobby.

When you said the closest vocalization to what you heard was from the sierra nevadas, do you remember if it was the "Bigfoot sounds" recordings?

sample here http://www.oregonbigfoot.com/sounds.php


Are you still in touch with your brother in law? Just wondering if you have spoken about it with him since.

And

Did ya catch any fish?

this is not my encounter but i found this amazing picture of a dead bigfoot by a australian bushwalker

he says he has 5 pictures to be released
but has only released 1 to the public so far from what i can tell

http://img33.yfrog.com/i/cmw.jpg/

http://twitter.com/johnwalter52

i tired to make a new topic to post this story but it says i do not have permission to create a new thread

anyway this first picture is amazing and cant wait till the rest are released to the public.

billybob

Those links are to a social networking site which I cant access at work. Could you post the picture itself please?

My brother-in-law went back with me. I was not insinuating that the researches hoaxed them but rather maybe they were duped by hoaxers. I'm sorry, it's been so long ago I don't recal which recording I heard.

Oh, and the photo of the bigfoot in Austrailia....LOL, talk about a blob squatch.......it looks to me like there is a Llama type head that has decomposed a bit. I doubt it's bigfoot.

Here you go spudsquatch. Not too impressive on the surface...looks like a funny position and place to die in. I would start a new thread in an attempt not to hijack this one, but I think this topic can be born, and die, in this thread where a Luv2sled's story is much more interesting.



Thanks for sharing Luv2sled...sounds like quite an experience and whether it was BF or not, unforgettable.

Thanks InMichAgain but I cant see it. Alot of times people post and are talking about pics but for some reason they dont come through on my computer. I can see the jpeg ones that are uploaded though.

Oh well. Sounds like Im not missing anything.

can you see this spud? if not it looks pile of hair draped over a small chair or
medium rock. Poor at best.

dav

Yep Dav I got it.

Thanks

(I think)

The Michigan sound clips are exactly what I've heard here in Minnesota. I haven't heard them in this quantity however, only an occasional scream, yell, whoop or growl. Plus the wood knocks. I was getting concerned because I wasn't hearing the same sounds as on the BFRO site.
