jul 17, 1969 - The Bighorn Dam Incident
Description:
In 1969, work had begun on what is now know as the the Bighorn Dam, which is located in western Alberta near the town of Nordegg. On August 24 of that year, five men witnessed what would come to be known as the Bighorn Dam Incident. Harley Peterson and Guy L’Heureux were working on a foundation for a pump at the construction site when something caught there eyes high on the ridge above them. It was a dark, upright figure that seemed to be watching what was going on below. The figure stayed standing in that spot for about a half hour, then it sat down for about 10 minutes. By this time the number of people watching had increased from two to five. Stan Peterson, Floyd Engen, and Dale Boddy also observed the figure at this time. The figure then stood up again for about 15 minutes, then it walked along the ridge and disappeared into the tree line. Two of the five men decided to get up on the ridge to see if they could find any footprints and also so the other three men could judge the height of the figure that had been up there. What the men on the ground realized then, was that this was no ordinary person that had been standing up there. By comparing the height of the two men now up there to the trees behind them, the men on the ground judged the figure to be have been at least 12 feet tall if not closer to 15 feet tall. This is definitely one of the largest Sasquatches to have ever been reported in North America.
