Two women in Nunavik had an unusual encounter while berry picking on Saturday.
Maggie Cruikshank Qingalik, who is from Akulivik, Que., said her friend saw some kind of creature out in the wilderness.
Qingalik said at first, they thought it was another person picking berries. Then they noticed it was covered in long, dark hair.
The creature's footprint reportedly measure 40 centimetres in length. (Facebook)She said it was walking upright along the side of a hill, and was taking long strides. They said it would also sometimes crawl.
“We weren't sure what it was first. It is not a human being, it was really tall, and kept coming towards our direction and we could tell it was not a human,” she said.
Qingalik said the creature was 10 to 15 feet tall. Pictures posted on Facebook show the alleged footprints are 40 centimetres long.
The women said the creature didn’t appear vicious, nor did it appear interested in them.
Understandably for such a sighting, the women got scared, hopped on their ATV, and headed back to the community to warn people about what they saw.
