Incident #1001319
Coleman, Forestry Rd. 940, Alberta
Nov 1987
Account
Mike Doyichak and Don Hankle driving South on the Forestry Trunk Road just on the outskirts of Coleman saw a creature standing at the side of the road and swung the car to follow it as it walked over a 4-foot fence and went up a small hill and out of the headlights. They got out of the car and yelled at it to stop or they would shoot, but got no reaction. Creature covered with black hair. They estimated height at 6 feet, but it would have to be taller to step over a 4-foot fence. Looked for tracks next day but found none. No snow.
