Incident #992711
Burnstown, Renfrew Cty, Ontario
Jun 1993
Account
Desmond ( Joe ) Warren, was parked with his girlfriend at the entrance of an old logging trail off McLeod Road, between Springtown and Burnstown on the south shore of the Madawaska River. After about 2 hours they noticed a stench, like a backed-up sewer or rotten meat. Later, about 5.30 or 6 a.m., Joe got out of the car, heard a small noise, and saw a large dark, hairy creature standing upright about 30 feet away. He and the girlfriend watched it for several munutes before it turned and strode back into the brush. It then watched from there for a while before leaving. Long blackish-brown hair covered it from head to toe. It was at least 3 feet wide. Skin and nails were very dark. Deep-sunk eyes and heavy brow ridge. Two large nostrils like a gorilla. A sketch is available on the internet.
