BFRO #13642: Early morning sighting by 10 year old child in a backyard tent in the Lower Fraser Valley

📍 Location

📝 Description

The details of this probably won't be very good as this happened 20 years ago. The reason I'm reporting it now is my mother heard a recording of a sasqatch scream on the CBC radio this morning, reportedly recorded at a nearby community. I unfortunately didn't catch the radio segment, and went on the internet to see if I could find anything similar. I came across this website...I live in the Fraser river valley. One summer when I was about 10 or 11 I was sleeping out in the field behind my home with my brother and our friend, just out on a tarp to watch the stars. We were within 20 feet of the woods. I woke up early in the morning and watched a Sasquatch walk past us, right along the edge of the woods. I made eye contact and it stared right back at me as it strided along. It didn't seem to have much of a neck although it's head swiveled to keep eye contact. I remember the stare as being very intense, although not really threatening. It is very unnerving to remember that stare now. It was intelligent. Animals do not hold your gaze the way that creature held mine.It seemed very big, although I couldn't say just how tall. I was quite young and lying down at that, so my perspective was a bit strange. It seemd to cover ground very quickly, though it was just walking. It's arms were swinging. The hair on it's head seemed a bit shaggy. It was quite dark, blackish coloured. I think it must have been male. It gave the impression of being very physically fit. I don't remember it making a sound, or that it smelled like anything. It certainly didn't give the impression of being frightened by us.

🔍 Circumstances

I was the only one who saw it. I do recall telling my mother, who responded, "it was probably just Martin being nosy" (Martin was our neighbour). It definitely was not him.

🌤️ Weather Conditions

Early morning, but quite light out. maybe 5:30 or 6:00. The month would have been July or August. It couldn't have been too late as I went back to sleep afterwards.
