An internet user with the initials AT shared the story of how a huge hairy creature followed him and his father in the forest.
The author thinks that it was most likely a yeti, or in the local sasquatch.
“My dad and I have a long history of hiking and in November 2005 we went to the UBC Research Forest, north of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada.
This forest is located at the foot of a large mountain and there are several hiking trails and roads along which timber trucks transport the felled trees.
When we arrived at the place, it was already very late and, moreover, the weather was bad. There was no wind, but there was an endless and very strong downpour with small hail and all the paths were messed up. Due to the weather, we were probably the only people on this hiking trail that day.
The camp for tourists was also empty, but we nevertheless decided to go to the chosen place and walked along the trail. After about an hour we took a break and stopped at a picturesque area near a stream in a small ravine.
But when we went down there, we were immediately struck in the nose by a completely disgusting smell, the likes of which we had never known before. It was something like a mixture of the smell of fish and unwashed man.
At the same time, we repeatedly encountered large animals of this region during the hikes, none of them had ever smelled like that. And since there was no wind, it became clear that whoever smelled so disgusting would be very close to us.

We did not stop here, but went down the slope of this ravine. Above, on the sides of the ravine, thick bushes grew, and behind there was a flat, wooded slope of the mountain.
And with every step we took, it became quieter and quieter around. The birds fell silent one after the other, and even the noisy local crows suddenly stopped croaking. And we had a distinct feeling that someone was watching us from the side of the bushes. At the same time, the disgusting smell became stronger and therefore we also began to walk faster, trying to pass this terrible section as soon as possible. And so we finally came out of the ravine. And right there, very close to us, there was a strong noise, which could only be made by a very large creature. My father and I immediately ran back and climbed the slope to the very top of the ravine. When we looked down from there in the direction where there was noise, we managed to notice how a very tall creature was hiding in the thicket of bushes. He was much taller than my father, who was about 180 cm tall, and his coat was dark brown. We did not have any weapons with us and we very quickly continued our journey, knowing that soon there would be a road for timber trucks ahead and we would return along it. We thought we had seen a bear that we had never met in the woods before. The fact is that grizzly bears should not be found in this area of the forest. So either it was a grizzly that came from another forest, or it was not a bear at all. We walked quickly along the road and still continued to smell this terrible smell in some areas. When we rounded the slope, we noticed movement in the bushes to the side and again felt the stench. The creature was following us.that grizzly bears should not be found in this area of the forest.

A few minutes later, a wave of stench overtook us again and we again saw how something large and dark was moving parallel to our path, but higher up the slope. And then the creature screamed so hard that my father and I shuddered with fear.
I had never seen my father get scared before, but now he was practically shivering. And I myself was in a cold sweat of fear. The cry of the creature was completely unfamiliar and strange, it was something between the cry of a man and the roar of an animal.
We stood in a daze for about five minutes, and then ran at a run towards the road, which was already visible. On the way, I dropped one thing and after a couple of minutes I realized it and came back for it. And when I found her and picked her up, I saw very close to me, behind the trees, this tall creature.
What it was, I still have no idea. Sasquatch? Or is it a bear? It was very tall and at the same time rather slender, thin. And very dark, so the structure of his body was incomprehensible. After a couple of seconds, it disappeared completely behind the trees.
My father and I ran to the parking lot when it was already completely dark. And the next morning the first snow fell here. This spoiled all our plans, because after that we thought about returning and filming his tracks."
