Alberta: Bigfoot Walking on Water
I just had to use that title! …But the water was frozen, so it was actually walking on ice. I recently received this Bigfoot sighting report from Alberta, Canada. The sighting was in 1991 – about twenty years ago.
It was January 1991 and I was south of Valleyview, Alberta Canada about 10 pm with a co-worker in the woods. We were crossing a bridge in our truck, and when I looked down I saw a large, black, being marching across the frozen river. It was swinging its’ arms. I knew it wasn’t a man because of its size and color. When I told people what I saw they just laughed, but I know what I saw was Bigfoot.
To the person who sent me this report: I’m not laughing because… I believe Bigfoot exists. I admit I laughed a little, but only because you saw one walking on water (frozen) which I believe is fairly unique! Maybe not in your neck of the woods, though. Where I live, the water doesn’t freeze over.
Because many people laugh and scoff at the idea of a Bigfoot sighting, many experiencers stop telling what they saw. I find that sad and frustrating because there are a lot of people, like myself, that love to hear about Bigfoot. We want to know the habits, habitat, and actions observed during each sighting so we can learn more about our elusive, primitive cousins.
On the map, near the sighting location, there’s a lot of forested territory. There’s also the Willmore Wilderness Area, the Kakwa Provincial Park, and five other provincial parks and three national parks! It must be a beautiful area!

Report of Bigfoot Found in Backyard – a Mental Aberration?
The aforementioned Bigfoot found in a backyard is apparently turning out to be an error in judgment, however a Facebook group owner who investigated the matter has been asked to wait until after Monday evening’s broadcast of Overnight AM, to share his report. He kindly agreed to that.
Could it be that “Mr. Mike” imagined all the Bigfoots in his yard, that the private investigator’s photo is a blobsquatch, and that we’re once again facing a case of false claims and disappointed hopes?
A few weeks ago I wrote about my frustration with false Bigfoot reports. I have heard too many of them at this point, and find it distressing whenever a sighting report proves insubstantial. It would help if people who are not absolutely certain of what they saw would quit making grandiose claims.
The implication is that Mr. Mike may have made an error in identifying … shadows, perhaps. But we’ll just have to wait a few more hours to get the rest of the story.
[Update: After hearing the radio broadcast on July 12 I changed my mind about this, and now feel it is possible that there's another explanation that does not indicate any dementia on the part of the man who reported these Bigfoot sightings. See my report: Bigfoot in Mr. Mike’s Backyard: Follow-Up on Lan Lamphere’s Internet Radio Broadcast.]

Bigfoot Found in Backyard – Radio Broadcast Online

A man claims a family of Bigfoot creatures sleeps behind his home. Should be a good story, and maybe the start of some solid evidence. The location is confidential – hopefully assuring this family will be protected.
++ Tonight’s broadcast is complete – there may be an archive of this program available later. ++
Here’s what I heard:
On July 3, 2010, Bill Birnes, executive producer of UFO Hunters on the History Chanel, got a call from “Mr. Mike” who said that for three weeks he’d had a family of Bigfoot in his backyard.
Lan Lamphere, radio host, phoned Mr. Mike’s local police department and found out they had two reports of possible Bigfoot sightings recently. A law enforcement officer reported seeing a dirty or hairy tall woman rummaging through trash. No effort was made to catch her because scrounging isn’t illegal in that area. She ran into the woods in the direction of Mr. Mike’s home.
Mr. Mike, live on the air, over the phone, said he was standing in the front hallway looking at two females and one baby. They were in the front yard, and he also saw a large male. He said the others stay in the backyard.
He’s been talking to them; he says they don’t bare their teeth at him as much anymore.
There may be as many as two or three infants. As of the 3rd of July he had seen about 6 Bigfoot creatures, but now there’s more taking refuge at his home, in both front yard and back yard.
“They’re looking back at me and minding their own business,” he said, stating he was at that moment standing in the front yard only about five feet from one. She was sitting in the back of the shrubs, nearby, he said.
Lan Lamphere’s radio show hired a private investigator and found out that Mr. Mike is the “quintessential perfect citizen” – a churchgoer with family members in law enforcement.
On the air, Lan Lamphere told Mr. Mike that the private investigator went to his place at 3am and sat in the bushes for several hours. Something approached him and grunted. He took photos. When he got home and looked at the photo he could see a silhouette of five shapes, three of them very small.
The talk show will continue to feature and follow up on this story.
…
My personal observation was that there was nothing in Mr. Mike’s voice to indicate that this was a fabricated story. More on this as news becomes available.

Pennsylvania: Fayette County Bigfoot Sightings in the News
If you look at the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society website you’ll see there are dozens of Bigfoot sighting reports recorded, covering every county in the state of Pennsylvania. Recently there’s been several new sightings near Dunbar in Fayette County, in the southwest corner of the state.
Featured in the Herald Standard article by Dave Zuchowski (see link below) are three sightings, two of which had multiple witnesses. A mother-daughter outing on September 23, 2009 resulted in a viewing of a tall, muscular being who got as close as 150 feet. The next day Pennsylvania Bigfoot researcher Eric Altman went back to the site with them and found a possible foot impression and a 3′x10′ lean-to structure.
In July 2009 a woman saw two Sasquatches close to town. A juvenile Bigfoot feasted on blackberries, accompanied by an adult.
Most recently, on January 31, 2010, Heath Landman and his twenty-year-old son, Heath Nickolas Jr., were driving when they saw a large bipedal creature cross the road in three steps. Landman described it as being 6’3″ with a cone-shaped head. Landman got his three brothers and two nephews to help him examine the site. They found hair and snow footprints. Eric Altman is handling this investigation and may send the hair to a lab for testing.
