Park Reserve
near Nahanni
Butte
, Northwest Territories
, between April and June of 1964, by John Baptist,
several men, and a boy named Jerry. Several Dene from Fort Liard
who were trapping at
a river reportedly came upon the creature in April of 1964.
It appeared strong-looking, and appeared to have a long, dark
beard, wore no clothes, and was tall.
In June
1964, near Fort Simpson
around 9 p.m. a boy named Jerry reported a similar
creature. It had black hair on its head, upper body, and
legs, and a black head, slightly pointed at the back. It also had a
long, brown beard that reached its waist, and wore ankle-high
boots, a
mooseskin loincloth, and had a stone club in its hand. These
creatures have been reported for hundreds of years and are said to
have bootlike footprints and whistling calls.
They have been
reported from the Northwest Territories to Yukon
