Possible sighting by two brothers in the Dunrobin area west of Ottowa

YEAR: 1984

SEASON: Fall

MONTH: November

PROVINCE: Ontario

COUNTRY: Canada

LOCATION DETAILS: The road is callled Vance's Side Road. The sighting occurred at the end west end of the road where it becomes a "non maintained" section. A new house has been built in the location of the sighting.

NEAREST TOWN: Carp

NEAREST ROAD: Dunrobin Road

OBSERVED: I was driving with my brother in the Dunrobin area west of Ottawa at about 11:00 PM in 1984 looking for a place to set up his new telescope. We drove slowly down a semi-deserted dirt road looking for a good spot when my brother suddenly got creeped out and told me "I have a bad feeling". I just laughed, but he was insistent, so I started to back up slowly looking for a place to turn.

Suddenly, my brother shouted and I looked ahead at a large primate like animal walking towards the side of the car. It looked to be about 7 feet tall, well built with flat, unkept black hair that hung down from its shoulders and arms like sloth hair. It looked dirty. The moment it looked at us, I panicked, hit the accelerator and drove backwards at highway speed for a mile. It was amazing we didn't crash.

Anyway, that's my story. One one hand, I wish I'd stayed a little longer to better understand what we were looking at, but then again, I'm not too sure I wouldn't react the exact same way today.

I'm sure these thing are seen a lot more than reported. I don't tell people in general because they just burn me at the stake. Someday, I hope someone will get one of these on good quality video so we can all say "I told you so".

ALSO NOTICED: My brother had a "creeped out" feeling just prior to the sighting.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 witnesses. 1 driving, the other looking for a place to setup a telescope.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: 11 PM. Slightly moonlit and near freezing. No precipitation.

ENVIRONMENT: The immediate sighting area is slightly hilly and wooded with deciduous trees. There are some swampy areas and several farmers fields are nearly.


Follow-up investigation report:

The witness says the creature was about 7' tall, dirty charcoal colour, hair all over the body expect the face, muscular/well built, about 350-400 lbs and a human like face.
