A second bigfoot sighting has been reported by a young girl, and her play mates in Paupanekis Point, Norway House, Manitoba, which is located on the south end of the same First Nations reserve where ferryman, Bobby Clarke, videotaped a large, dark, bipedal creature walking along the bank of the Nelsen River.
The girls were close to a residential area, which borders the woods, at around 7:30-8:00 pm on May 20, when the encounter occurred. The woods are bordered by knee high grass, which is where the creature was standing in plain view, apparently watching the children play. One of the girls fainted from fright, after seeing "a huge creature." None of the children were hurt, but they are understandably still quite shaken, and afraid to be left alone.
Immediately following the sighting, a search party was assembled to investigate the surrounding area. Footprints were found where the actual sighting occurred, as well as deeper into the woods. Several more expeditions have been conducted since, and have resulted in finding more physical evidence. The size of some of the tracks measure "larger than a man`s size 16 shoe" said one witness, and have a clearly defined outline of the toes. The tracks have been preserved, photographed, and videotaped by Norway House residents.
Hair samples have also been found at several locations, including on the inside edge of one of the footprints, and at another location, clinging to a pine tree where more tracks, and a strong lingering odor was also reported. The odor was described to be a mix between wet dog, and skunk. A witness who has collected some of the hair samples reported, "I thought they would be thick and course and black, but they look kinda longish, half black and half white and (on some) the very bottom looks almost fine and spliced up like a fine razor split the hairs into many on one single strand."
The physical evidence collected following the most recent sighting raises some interesting questions. Where as the Nelson River tracks measured 20 inches in length, with a six foot stride, in Paupanekis Point, tracks measuring 13 inches in length, as well as 20 inches have been found. Also, hair samples given to the ACA`s expedition team were dark in color, according to Cherie Curry, a member of the team, yet the hair samples found after the second sighting are half black, and half white.
Some N.H. residents have theorized that the smaller prints may belong to a juvenile, and that it has possibly wandered away from an adult/parent, which might explain the ongoing incidents surrounding Norway House, including the frequent howls coming from wooded areas close to homes. Bobby Clarke also reported hearing strange howls on several occasions preceding his sighting.
Although details are still sketchy, a third encounter in which the creature is said to have returned to the same area as the second sighting, moving large rocks in it`s path has been reported. I`ll update if/when I learn more. I am also waiting for more photographs of tracks, and hair samples, which I`ll photograph, and post once they arrive.
This rash of sightings is not the first in this area. In 1976, multiple sightings, spread over a length of time, were reported in Poplar River, 76 miles south of Norway House. The following is the report submitted to the Vancouver Lower Mainland Division of the RCMP, following a police investigation. Norway House RCMP Report
"Norway House to Vancouver Lower Mainland Division, attention Sergeant Doane.
It was reported to our office on the 26 July 76 by the chief of the Poplar River Indian Band that many of his people have sighted on the reserve many times a large hairy animal that walks on two legs. Poplar River is located approx. 76 miles to the south of Norway House. An investigation was conducted and the results are as follows:Several people were interviewed and they all stated that the animal was approximately seven to eight feet tall and was very broad at the shoulders. It had the general body structure of a man only many times larger. A foot cast was taken of the foot impression that was left behind by the so-called monster and is held at this detachment. It measures 16 inches by five inches, and has only three toes. It's fur is a glossy gray color and it has white hair on it's head. They stated that it was very powerfully built and one man reported that he saw it swimming. To date there have been no further reports of sightings in our area. It should be noted that this so-called monster seemed very inquisitive towards the people and would come around the houses on the settlement and look in doors and windows."- Excerpt from the 1976 RCMP Report, posted on the BFRO website.
The May 20,05 Paupanekis Point sighting follows a report, and video footage, taken of a large dark creature walking along the Nelson River, in Norway House, Manitoba on April 16, 05 by ferryman, Bobby Clarke. After the videotape was aired on A Current Affair on May 4,05, ACA sent an expedition led by Dr.Franklin Ruehl, to Norway House to look for evidence. Also on the expedition team was ACA producer Brett Hudson, and artist, singer, author Cherie Curry.

The pictures look like tyre tracks ... which is probably what they are.
Now, there is something similar in Australia named the Yowie. And just like bigfoot, there have been many sightings but no real evidence.
There's a reason for that, I reckon ....
331 - NH , RESIDENT
tire tracks you probably never seen tire tracks much less bigfoot tracks . hahaha and by the way thats not how you spell tire. hehehe
332 - NH , RESIDENT

Where the fuck can a person find this "video"? Seriously there are so many claiming that this is an authentic taping of the mythical beast but go to search for the vid and absolutely nothing. Can someone make a freakin article and support it with some excerpts of the original tape?

This is stupid and only idiots would believe this garbage!!!
339 - Monkey Donkey
Hi, people! Afte reading a few discontent readers, take this in account: didn't U figure out that this blog is for garbage on the BF matter yet? It's just to let people write and waste their time with garbage! Bear in mind that if it were a serious one, actions should have been taken before, like buying film cameras to monitor the hot spots.... So sorry... It's for commercial purpose only... Not for seriousness... The idea is just this simple: the issue attracts some people, they accesss the page and get in contact with the advertisements that are shot here... Wake up! This does NOT deserve any further attention any more, just realize this fact. I myself am a discontent one and will NOT come back here any longer. Be happy, see you never!!!

Any new sightings or reports about bigfoot in the manitoba area..???? please share...
349 - George
odd how in the history of the US no hunter has ever shot and killed a bigfoot. How is that possible it seems as if these bigfoots simply dont care about us and seem to never look at the camera man even when they're making all kinds of noise.
I mean any creature that has survived with man around is always aware of man and very cautious of us. Certainly anything such as a bigfoot over the years that had been seen by man was hunted, chased or something. A bigfoot would not just strool by some human with a camera making all kinds of noise and not even look at the human.
Just a little commen sense seems to debunk every video I have ever seen about a bigfoot.
Another puzzleing thing is why are none of these videos ever clear? Why does noone ever yell at the creature or scream or say omg wtf is that honey honey look at this wtf is that?? dam its gone did you see that?? nothing just silence as this thing walks by and never looks at the noisy smelly humans.
just some obsevations folks

You, like most do not get it. Bigfoot is not a normal creature like a bear. It has special abilities, (at least!) that keep it from being captured nor killed.
WAKE UP!
351 - International Cryptozoological Society
The Indians, including around Norway House,
see Bigfoot as a semi-spiritual being.
I agree.
See our photos at http://www.beckjord.com/bigfoot/
Also, BF tracks often do not have ANY GRASS MUSHED
INTO THEM, since the foot seems to BURN its way thru the grass.
WEIRD BUT TRUE. I'VE SEEN THIS.

NOt odd that no hunter has killed one if you consider it is an Indian-respected spiritual being.
Let's think outside the box! Life is not black and white. Try shades of gray.

356 - Anonymous
Came across this site, my family and I were travelling from Winnipeg heading North to Thompson about two weeks after the sighting in Norway House and actually saw a figure running across between the tree line, We turned around and my brother called it,it stopped momentarily and continued into the trees. It just kept on running, I was scared as hell, I believe that the Big Foot really does exist, Freaky! I regret I didnt' bring along my video camera that day. We even flagged down hunters that were passing by and they headed to where we saw the figure and we continued on our trip ( we were very quiet and shocked as we headed up north), we didn't hear anything after that....

But the DNA result yielded a mixture of human and opossum.

I have spent over 35 years in the forests from the coasts of the Carolinas to the Rockies to the Sierras. And I have seen some unusual out of place things in my camping and hiking experience. I know the track of a bear, just as well as the track of an alligator or a fox or another hiker with size 9 Red Wing boots.As far as hoaxing, who in thier right mind would bother to go 10 miles from anywhere to leave behind fake prints or other sign that may well never be seen? You want the stuff to be seen, don't ya? So I find it rather amazing after 3 days and 7 to 10 miles later up and down the countryside with no trails or roads, down the side of a small stream I find tracks. About 70 of them( no one leaves behind just one or two ).I now live in Alabama and have been a beleiver for 40 years.

I have always been interested in hearing about BF
I live in Moose Lake MB, My father in law once seen a bigfoot on his way home from THe Pas MB it just walked across the road and away it went into the bush, Also one of my coworkers Whom I worked with in Sapotaweyak Cree Nation(Pelican Rapids) also told me when she was a little girl she was on a trip with her parents to SASk, a BigFoot walked across the road a it just turned to look at them and kept walking. I asked her if she was scared and how it looked She said it was tall & skinny,Hairy I believe that this creature lives along the Central Manitoba Northren Lakes. I live to see a BF in years to come and hopefully will have my camera to show you until then all we have is stories to share!
