BFRO #10572: Possible approach to a camp outside Penticton

📍 Location

📝 Description

One morning the family awoke and my mother was extremely upset; "white as a ghost" as they say. I had only seen her like this on one other occasion; when a small child fell out of a car window while making a turn in front of her as she left a parking lot.She told us that something had been outside the tent trailer in the night. A cheap styrofoam cooler that was underneath the trailer had been broken up but not strewn about; several food items where missing from it. My father passed it off saying that it probably had just been kids or a bear.I was 14 at the time and the oldest. Later that morning while my mother and I where alone she said to me "What ever was out there last night wasn't a bear and it wasn't a man. I don't know what it was but I could see it's shadow on the tent wall". I didn't know what to think at the time. I remember feeling like she just wanted someone to believe her as I'm fairly sure my father probably would have told her she was just imagining things. She didn't start to calm down until late in the afternoon. She gave me no details in regard to size, smell or noises.It wasn't until years later after reading several of John Greene's books that I realized this may have been a Bigfoot encounter.
