Northern Manitoba man wonders if he saw Bigfoot, shoots video of creature
NORWAY HOUSE, Man. (CP) — Is Bigfoot walking the bush around this remote community in northern Manitoba?
Residents have been flocking to Georgina Henry’s house to watch two minutes and 49 seconds of video shot by her son, Bobby Clarke, on the banks of the Nelson River shortly after dawn Saturday morning.
“It’s pictures of Bigfoot,“ she said. ”It’s black and it’s big. Oh god, it’s huge — seven or eight feet high,” Henry said. “We can see him walking, and then turning to look at him (Clarke).
Clarke said he was on duty at his job as a car ferry operator when he saw a “big, black figure” on the opposite bank, about 250 to 300 metres away. He grabbed his camcorder, which he said he always has with him.
“It was just massive, standing tall. I’m freaked out,” Clarke said Monday in an interview from the ferry at an uninhabited bush area 40 kilometres from Norway House.
He said he’s been nervous ever since, especially when he takes the ferry to that side of the river.
He said the creature walked upright on two legs back into the bush, barely 200 metres away from the ferry dock.
The bush comes right up to the dock, he said.
Clarke’s wife, Winnie, agreed he was shaken by the experience.
“Elders say it’s a blessing, it’s a spiritual sign if people see it,” she said.
She said she has been hearing from people who had seen Bigfoot themselves, but lacked evidence.
“Now that he’s got this video, there’s a lot of trappers and fishers out there, they’ve seen the tracks over the years.”
Several people have been talking about taking a boat over to look for tracks, but Clarke said he wasn’t very anxious to join them.

I grew up around the Hoopa indians of the North Coast, where the highest number of sightings has occurred (Bluff Creek area), and they're always very suspect of anyone who claims to have actually seen it. It's supposed to be more of a woodland spirit, like the Green Man or something, than an actual creature, in their lore. Still, their gift shops are full of bigfoot trinkets for the tourists.

WINNIPEG — Manitoba's very own Bigfoot is apparently on its way to a television screen near you.
A spokesman for the family of Bobby Clarke, the Norway House ferry operator who claims to have captured videotape of a Bigfoot creature on the shores of the Nelson River, said Tuesday it has been sold to a U.S. television show for broadcast later this week.
A television crew from the program, which locals would not identify, was in Norway House last weekend to view the videotape and shoot additional footage of Clarke and the scene of the sighting.
Langford Saunders, Clarke's uncle and a Norway House band councillor, said there were multiple offers for the two-minute-49-second video.
On April 16, Clarke was operating an automobile ferry when he claimed to have seen a dark figure on the riverbank.
Clarke said he grabbed a video camera and recorded a tall, dark figure looking directly at him, and then turning around and heading back into the bush.
The announcement of a Bigfoot video also started a firestorm of interest on the Internet, and among Bigfoot experts from Washington and California. The North American media was also on alert, with many news outlets offering to buy the video from Clarke.
Previously it was confirmed several tabloid television shows such as Inside Edition and cable news channels had expressed interest in acquiring the footage.
Formal details identifying the show, and the broadcast date, will be released later this week, Saunders added.

on a side note: how does Bigfoot fit in to Creationism?

Manitoba Bigfoot video to air on Fox network TV show Wednesday night
WINNIPEG (CP) — Video footage shot by a Manitoba man of a large, dark figure that some are describing as Bigfoot is to air on a U.S. television show Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the syndicated show A Current Affair, which airs on selected Fox stations, confirmed the network has the video shot by ferry operator Bobby Clarke near Norway House in northern Manitoba on April 16.
Langford Saunders, uncle of videographer Bobby Clarke, said the much-anticipated footage was licensed to the American show for a limited time after the network approached the family and offered an undisclosed amount of money.
“A Current Affair took a look at it and we made an agreement. We gave it to them and they did what they had to do,“ said Saunders, who added the video can only be used twice by the show without further permission from the family.
The family has stopped playing the video for the curious on advice from a lawyer.
“We stopped video-watching because we had so many people coming from out of town. There was a chance of people taping it,” Saunders said.
The Fox segment will include interviews with sasquatch experts who have seen the video.
“It was an exciting moment. I saw an intriguing entity that certainly appeared to be an ape-like human hybrid,” Franklin Ruehl, a Glendale, Calif.-based sasquatch researcher who watched the video last Friday, told the Winnipeg Sun.
“I’m most impressed with this tape. It’s one more piece of evidence that these entities exist. It’s not absolute proof but it should be enough of a motivating factor to encourage an expedition into northern Manitoba.”
Ruehl, who hosts the cable access TV show Mysteries from Beyond: The Other Dimension, said the footage was a bit blurry, but the creature didn’t move like a bear and had long arms below its knees.
Ruehl said he believes the tape to be legitimate.
Even a clear video wouldn’t be enough to convince people of Bigfoot’s existence, he added.
“When it’s too sharp, people say it’s fabricated. If it’s too blurry, you can’t decide what it is.”
A university professor from Manitoba has already said he doubts the creatures exist since there is no physical evidence.
