Incident #1001320
Airdrie, Nose Creek, Alberta
Nov 1987
Account
Girl, 14, said she and another girl climbed the high railway fence at the West edge of Airdre, and her friend started to climb the fence on the far side to enter a field, then ran back screaming. She said that in the field at about 100-foot distance a black, man-shaped creature stood up from a crouch to an incredible height. The actual witness would not talk to Steenburg, and his informant could see nothing because she was still on the other side of the raised railroad grade. Nose Creek is close to the railroad, but does not come from the mountains. This is all flat farm country. Steenburg looked for tracks next day, but ground frozen.
