Alleged sasquatch footage reportedly sold to U.S. TV

Norway House, Man. -- Relatives say a ferry operator has sold a U.S. television show his video footage of a large, dark figure that some are describing as a sasquatch.

Langford Saunders, the uncle of videographer Bobby Clarke, said yesterday there were multiple offers for the two-minute, 49-second tape, but Mr. Clarke and his family chose to deal with people who were sincere and would not embarrass the community.

On April 16, Mr. Clarke was operating an automobile ferry on the Nelson River, about 40 kilometres outside of Nelson House, when he claimed to have seen a dark figure walking upright on the riverbank.

Mr. Clarke said he grabbed his camcorder and recorded the figure looking directly at him, then turning around and heading back into the bush. Relatives said the creature was at least 2½ metres tall.
