Sasquatch Chronicles Blog

A listener writes “On December 31st 2020 my partner Marcel Arbour and I bought a property with a small cabin, in Bruce County Ontario. The property is located 1km from Greenock Swamp (the largest wetland complex in southern Ontario Canada).

The lay of the land is farm country with slivers of forest running through properties. A major river. Conservation and trails. Greenock Swamp and Lake Huron. Roughly 5km, towards Lake Huron, the wind turbine fields begin. They stand from 380ft-850ft high, with red flashing lights at the top. We were reconstructing the cabin, basically building off the 4 corners of the house. It was dilapidated.

During that time we lived 20 minutes away, in a small town (Port Elgin Ontario). On a cold rainy night in early November 2021 (possibly November 1st) at around 10/10:30pm; we gave up, left the cabin frustrated, cold, tired and hungry. Headed to the condo in town. It was a very rainy night, cold and damp on the verge of snowing. Big rain splats on the windshield. The sky was not black. More greyish due to the bright moon and clouds.

We could not get the cabin warm. My hands were so cold I could barely hold a hammer anymore. We left in separate vehicles. Marcel said he would follow me (which I didn’t love because I drive slower and felt that now I had to go faster with him behind me).

We got about 3-4 kms up the road. We were coming up on a farm house with a huge barn. It appeared someone was out working in the yard. I thought to myself, “what a crappy night for farmers to be out”. The barn spotlight and house lights were on. But there was also a red/amber light I couldn’t make out.

At first I thought the amber light was a distant wind turbine. But it moved like a torchlight being carried by hand. It was moving and swaying oddly. Then I thought it was the lights that Mennonites have on the backs of their wagons (legally have to have running lights here.) I thought that because of the way the light seemed to trot now.

But this amber light was at the barn now and was moving fast! It moved so fast I thought it was now a horse with a rider on its back. It was charging me! It came barreling up to the edge of the road and leered at me, opening its mouth full of teeth and screamed!

My brain could not comprehend what I was seeing! My mind wanted it to be a horse! I tried seeing the horse. It didn’t make sense. It was not a horse.

I could only see the left side of its body. The creature was standing straight up on its hind legs! About 6 feet tall. It was over the windshield of my VW Tiguan. Thick shoulders. Built like a muscle man.

It’s leg from the side angle appeared very muscular like a football players. I did not see below the knee. It donned a lion-like mane around it’s shoulders, neck, head and breast. Woolly looking when wet. Breast that almost pointed out like a wiener dogs (we have a wiener dog). Wiener dogs breast plate/rib cage literally come to a point.

The creature had hackles standing on end. It’s hackles were so prevalent that I thought they were feathers at first. This made the monster seem bigger I think. It’s shoulder was that of a buff body builder. I could see muscle definition where the mane ended.

Pure muscle!

The monsters neck and shoulders were like that of a hunchback. And part of what makes this thing so bloody scary looking. It’s head was lower than it’s shoulders. It’s head dipping down to its chest. Once the eyes adjust, it hits you! What this thing is! A pure abomination. This thing should not be! Very strange, unorthodox looking. Something crazy. It leered through the windshield. At first I thought it had horns. It’s ears were so small and disproportionate to it’s massive head and muzzle. They look ridiculous thinking back now.

It’s eyes no longer appeared to be illuminated from within when my high beams shone on them making them yellow and very apparent.

It’s mouth was agape, showing me razor teeth! The creature’s muzzle looks like a King German shepherds…. if you morphed that breed to be 6x its regular large breed size. It’s mouth is wider and weirder than a dogs with a long snout. It appeared to have more control of the muscles in his face than say a floppy loose skinned hound dog.It screamed when I drove past. A Million questions run through your mind.

I screamed to myself in the car, braked and swerved. I feel like I might have clipped it, that’s how close it got. As soon as I was past it I stepped on the gas and flew out.

I thought about stopping the car to talk to Marcel, but I kept going too afraid.
This road is straight and 15km long.

Once we got home I unpacked my stuff and carried on. We were home for about 10 minutes and Marcel said “I saw a monster “.

That’s when I remembered. I had already forgotten what I had seen. Blocked it out.

Marcel did not see what I had. Until the point where the creature went behind my car. Marcel saw it pushing off from my bumper going between his truck. He saw it run on 4 legs into the pine forest on the other side of the road. Weird things happen out here occasionally. Every now and then we hear what sounds like something beating the hell out of a pack of coyotes. Screaming. Lion roaring??? Marcel and I are hunters. Marcel more than myself. We know what the wild life looks like here. That monster did not appear to be anything I ever knew existed. We found your podcast. It helped a lot. I never knew about dogman. I had always wanted to see a Sasquatch or a UFO. Instead I was blessed with demonic dogman.

This encounter got me thinking of other things and time’s strange occurrences have happened. I don’t think we are alone and we have much to discover. We have spoken to a few friends and family. One about 20km in the other direction believes she’s hearing a “skin walker” killing coyotes as well.

It’s creepy near the swamp!”
