Bigfoot Researcher Revisits 1969 Big Horn Dam Sighting Site

A Trip Back to a Classic Sasquatch Sighting Location So I just stumbled across this really cool video from The Travelling Canuck on YouTube, and I had to share it with everyone here. The creator takes viewers back to the site of one of Alberta's most talked-about Sasquatch encounters from 1969, right near the Big Horn Dam construction area. What makes this video particularly interesting is that the Travelling Canuck has actually visited this location four times over the years, from 2002 all the way to 2026, giving a unique perspective on how the landscape has changed. The story goes that back in August of 1969, five construction workers spotted what they described as a Sasquatch standing approximately 15 feet tall, walking along a ridge and apparently watching them work for several minutes. The workers rushed to grab binoculars or a telescope, but by the time they returned, the figure had vanished. According to the account shared in the video, the Sasquatch walked across the ridge from left to right, then doubled back from right to left before disappearing entirely. The ridge in question is still there, but as the Travelling Canuck points out, it's clearly eroding more and more each year. Off-road vehicle activity in the area is also taking its toll on the landscape. The whole region has transformed dramatically since 1969. What was once a secluded wilderness area is now essentially a bustling campground, complete with off-roaders, campers, and all the noise that comes with modern recreation. It's hard to imagine a Sasquatch sticking around in conditions like these. One fascinating detail the video mentions is that researchers like John Green and Thomas Steberg have both investigated this site over the years. John Green apparently visited the location just once, possibly around mid-1970, when the area still looked completely different from how it appears today. The ridge itself remains the same, but everything around it has changed beyond recognition. The Travelling Canuck also notes that even attempting to hike up to that ridge today would be extremely difficult. When they drove around to the back side to check it out, it looked even more challenging to climb. Whoever, or whatever, was up there in 1969 clearly knew the terrain well enough to navigate it without being seen again. The conclusion the Travelling Canuck comes to is that it's entirely possible a Sasquatch was indeed spotted on that ridge back in 1969. They also speculate that if any Sasquatch are still lingering in the broader area, they would likely only show up during the quieter seasons, from late fall through early spring, before retreating once the summer crowds arrive. For anyone interested in the history of Sasquatch research in Alberta, this video is definitely worth a watch. The Big Horn Dam sighting is one of those classic Canadian cases that researchers have referenced for decades, and seeing the actual location today really puts into perspective how much things have changed. The video is a great companion piece for anyone who wants to understand the geography of this famous encounter and see how time has reshaped the landscape.
