BFRO #17501: Possible tracks & smell noted by vacationers near Haliburton

📍 Location

📝 Description

It was a warm August night and because of the tornadoe that came through the area we were burning lots of brush at the front of our cottage. My friend was up with her two boys and they were in the cottage watching a movie with my two kids. We have a dog and he started to growl and he was facing the road/brush between our cottage and our neighbours cottage. There had been a stench in the air all weekend and we thought it may be a bear.My friend had a cottage years ago on Stoney lake in the Peterborough area and said it could be a bear. Our dog is spineless and kept growling and facing the darkness on the other side of the cottage his hackles were up.I as well as my friend and husband tried to peer into the darkness as we did the dog hid under my husbands chair the Xterra has super bright lights so I shone them at the back of the cottage absolutely nothing was there.We then heard a loud crack I said it's a bear I was getting nervous.I shone the lights out the back a gain and seen nothing but felt safer in the cottage. The next morning my friend went outside for a smoke and we went out behind the cottage.She said holy shit you got a sasquatch.I looked on the ground and seen a few large foot prints in the sand.The larger limbs from the trees were back there and some had been walked on.The dog and neighbours dogs were running around.messing up the prints i covered one with cardboard.We had a friend look at it as well as my husband who wears size 12 and his foot was dwarfed by this barefoot print.My friend was thinking of bigfoot I was thinking someone was goofing around and said so.I said it might be the barefooted guy at the end of the road, my friend said is he Frodo? Any way I found a couple of websites and it says the things have been sighted throughout Ontario sort of scares me.I really don't like being alone up there andy more which for the last five years I did quite often.
