BFRO #25670: Possible tracks found crossing field of snow 50 years ago in the City of Thunder Bay

📍 Location

📝 Description

My sighting of suspicious tracks happened when I was about 11 years old, around 1958. I remember it was a Sunday morning near noon. I was the first one out of the house and was on my way to the airport restaurant which used to be our hangout when we were young. I was heading west on Queen St. and had just past Sifton Ave. and crossed a large drainage ditch when I noticed these extrordinarly large footprints in the snow on my left. There was a vacant field there where we would play ball in the summer. Now it was covered with about 6 inches of snow. These footprints were about 18 inches long and 7 inches wide with strides near 4 feet long. The 5 toeprints on each foot were very clearly visible. They were heading in a southwesterly direction towards Rosslyn Road, bordered by the C.N.R. railway tracks on the left and the airport on the right. Unfortunately, no one else was with me at the time. I thought of notifying the police or some other authority of this sighting but, since I was only 11 years old, I didn't think anyone would take my story seriously. About a year or two later, I heard of a similar sighting near a small community about 150 miles north of Thunder Bay called Armstrong, of something they called "Big Foot" on a news bulletin. This was the first time I had heard of such a thing called "Big Foot" and brought back memories of what I had seen. Since that time, I have told many of my friends and relatives of this siting but never new who to get ahold of to make an official documentation of the incident. I'm glad I now have that opportunity. I know what I saw and I believe. Thanks for your time and consideration. HAPPY HUNTING!
