BFRO #6829: Possible sighting by off-road bikers near Buck Lake

📍 Location

📝 Description

I was fourteen at the time and staying with family and their friends at my mothers family homestead / farm in northern Alberta very close to north Buck Lake (Nearest, but very small towns would be Grassland, Donnaville or Casland) Everyone regularly goes fishing at what is commonly known in the area as "the narrows" a tiny connection between two major sections of North Buck Lake as fish are there in abundance. My friend and me decided to return to the farm on his dirt bike ahead of everyone else. About 2/3 of the way back there�s a long straight away where you ether return to another part of the same lake or make a hard right turn which takes you to the farm which is at least two miles further. As we turned the corner leading back I immediately noticed a person walking in the road far off in the distance (a mile or so). As we approached it appeared darker and more massive. I became more apprehensive and couldn�t get my friends attention as the noise from the dirt bike drowned out my voice, but still I didn't think anything other then someone walking in the middle of the road UNTILL we neared the turn to the farm. What really frightened me was just before the turn back to the farm (after the long straight away) my friend stopped the motorcycle and didn't say a word I tapped him on the back and said "Do you see that?" He replied "Ya what the @$&#!!$% is it ?" then I saw this creature act like it sensed or knew it had been spotted, because it crouched down for a few seconds then scurried off into the ditch, then the bush. Until that moment I was convinced it was a person, but the manner that it retreated in was so animal in nature and I had just watched it walk upright for more then a minute, probably two... I just about fainted. My friend freaked and cranked the bike (almost tossing me off the back). As soon as we got back to the farm we built a huge bon fire and pulled out all the guns (only 22's). The strange thing is that we didn't talk about what we saw, but just acted together knowing we couldn't explain it.
