OBSERVED: My ex-wife and her family where out in the area of Haig Lake, AB. Her dad was driving a grader for the fire crews, building roads to access the fire area's. There was not much to do so they fished alot at Haig lake, This one day Denise, her mother, brother and nephew where fishing at the one end of the lake, when Joe (her brother) said "look at the bear on the other side". So sure enough they looked across and aproximatley 500m-1km across and there was a large hairy "thing" walking on 2 legs and coming around towards them. They descibed it as being big, at least over 6ft and moving quickly on 2 legs and not droppng to 4 legs at any time. The color is the odd thing, she said that it was grey and black in color. Any way, it was moving to fast for her mothers liking so they left and went back to their camp.
