Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Dona Desilets told of several incidents involving what she called "bears" between Lundar and Chatfield, Manitoba about 1958, when she would have been about 8 years old. Her father was followed by one when he went to feed the bears in the evening and turned around to see a huge dark animal with eyes reflecting in the moonlight, standing on two legs. Neighbours saw an apelike face with black eyes looing in a window in early evening (2608) and next day footprints, not described, were found under the window. Height was at least 7 feet. A farmer surprised one sleeping in a haystack and it jumped up and ran off (2609). She and her brother were followed down a trail by things that stayed in the brush on either side and seemed to communicate by whistling. Another time she and another girl saw a "cow" with a red face more like a monkey, and big eyes, "hanging from a tree" behind shrubbery, its face above it. Later they saw it in a clearing, but no description.
