Canada - Bigfoot
This is a vast country with lots of room for cryptids to hide in, possibly in one of the many lakes or perhaps in the dense woods. We couldn’t really travel through North America without having a mention of what many consider to be the poster boy of cryptozoology: Bigfoot.
It should surprise no one to find out that sightings of Bigfoot have been recorded in British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada. Perhaps one of the most interesting sightings dates from the summer of 1924 when a prospector going by the name of Albert Ostman claimed that he was kidnapped by a Bigfoot family, spending a total of six days living with them. He described the biggest adult as standing somewhere between 7 and 8 feet tall, and it was this creature that had carried Ostman in his sleeping bag into captivity. While not many would like to spend time as captive of a cryptid it did give him chance to study the behaviour and habits of Bigfoot.
I bet you’re wondering how he managed to escape; well, he tricked the adult Bigfoot into eating his handy box of snuff and was able to make good his escape during the ensuing chaos.
Where next? Well, how about somewhere less well known....
