Men sight Sasquatch
By CP
WHITEHORSE -- Whatever two Teslin residents saw in the early morning mist, conservation officer Dave Bakica knows it shook them up. Marion Sheldon and Gus Jules were traveling out of town along the Alaska Hwy. on an ATV, sometime after 1 a.m. last Sunday when they passed what resembled a person standing on the side of the highway.
Thinking it was a local who might be in need of a ride, they turned around and headed back, Bakica explained in an interview yesterday recalling his conservation with the pair.
As the two lifelong Teslin residents and members of the Teslin Tlingit Council approached to within six metres, they noticed the figure was covered in hair, but standing upright.
Jules told Bakica he saw what he believed to be flesh tones hidden beneath a mat of hair.
"I have no doubt they saw something, and are convinced it was not a bear or anything in the ordinary," the conservation officer said.
Sheldon and Jules were unavailable for comment.
Bakica said Jules is an experience hunter. He described the figure as standing about seven feet tall, but hunched over. They could see it was not a person.
The dark-haired figure departed, taking two or three steps to cross the Alaska Highway.
"I have no doubt in my mind that they believe what they saw was a Sasquatch," said Bakica.
