BFRO #65223: Swedish archaeologist has a clear daylight sighting during BFRO expedition near Harrison Lake

📍 Location

📝 Description

My name is Ingemar Ramell. I am a 52-year old Swedish Archaeologist and a proud member of the BFRO. I have attended several BFRO Expeditions in North America over the years:North Florida Expedition 2009, Northern California 2009, British Columbia 2009, Vancouver Island South 2009 and the Olympic Peninsula Expedition also in 2009.I also attended the Expeditions in British Columbia in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The North American conferences that I have taken part of was the celebration of John Green in Harrison Hot Springs in 2011, The Sasquatch Summit, and the Bigfoot Conference in Kennewick 2017.I have also been walking around alone in the forests of North America looking for Sasquatch and footprints. In a Hot Spot area, a forest in northern Florida I found an old footprint in the sand in February 2009. In the mountains above Bluff Creek in Northern California I found a footprint in snow on a mountain road in may 2009. I have pictures of both. I was surprised of how easy it was for me to find footprints of Sasquatch in the USA!!! I also participated in the Conference and the Expedition that was organized in Moscow and Siberia in October 2011. I have met eyewitnesses and I have heard many stories from people from USA, Canada and Russia.I know that Sasquatches exist and I proudly stand for that anytime and anywhere. I believe that Sasquatches are bipedal apes or something more human-like. The future will give us the answer.Anyway, I attended the BFRO 2016 British Columbia Expedition that took place on September 8-11. On Monday September 12 the organizer and the rest of the group left the area where we had the Expedition and started to drive back to Vancouver. We were 4 men in 2 cars. I was sitting as a passenger in the second car. The sun was shining this day and the landscape was very beautiful to look at. Being a Swedish tourist I was looking out through the car windows as much as possible and talking to the driver.After driving for some time, around PM 3.30 in the afternoon we got close to the bridge on Morris Valley Rd/Weaver Creek Rd by the 12 kilometer sign. Then I saw movement on the left side of the road. I turned my head to the left and saw for what I would estimate to be about 2-3 seconds a reddish-brown human looking figure with an ape looking head that quickly moved from a trench up toward some trees and then froze. The body was still but the head was locked to the car and the face (eyes) followed the car as the car moved. I had eye contact with that figure and the eyes was very mean looking. I got really scared by looking into his eyes and a thought immediately came up in my head: "elak apa". That means "ape" in Swedish. That's what came into my head. I would call it a reaction based on instinct. The eyes was very frightening and he really looked like a killer. He looked intelligent. But he also seemed to be aware of the danger of being seen by a human. He was not relaxed, he was worried. The figure that I saw was clearly a male. No breasts or broad hips or anything like that. I am 6`3 and I think that he was as tall as me. He was thin, he had no big muscles. He did not look like Patty from Bluff Creek. To me Patty looks like a bipedal gorilla. I told this to Bob Gimlin when I met him in Kennewick in 2017 and he told me that they come in all sort of looks, some more apelike and some more human looking. The male that I saw looked more like a mix between an orangutan and a human. He looked like a slender male around 20-35 in human age. He had short reddish-brown hair on his body. The best description that I can give of him is that he looked like the reconstructed face on Google Pictures of an Australopithecus Africanus but with a higher forehead and less Prognatism. Australopithecus AfricanusFor some odd reason that I can not explain I did not say anything or do anything. I did nothing. I just froze. I did not even tell the driver or asked him to stop the car. This is very sad because I had a chance of a lifetime. I was well �armed�. I had 2 cameras in my side pockets, 1 knife, 1 tomahawk and 1 bottle of bearspray on me. As a Swede in Bear/Cougar/Wolf country I have to watch my back... The driver is a tough man and a experienced Canadian hunter. When we got back to Vancouver and offloaded the gear I told Jason about my sighting but I felt soo stupid for not saying anything while we where there. Jason then told me that BC-Investigator Bill Miller have been investigating a sighting that an Italian man had some years earlier on the other side of the bridge.Today I am ashamed over this and regretful. I should have said and done something. However, I have read so many class A reports on BFROs homepage that I know that it is normal to react like this. I hope to someday in the future to get a second chance... Two days later on the Wednesday I came back to the place of my sighting in a rented car. I camped at the nearest campsite and spent 2 days walking around at the place of my sighting looking for that male
