In 2001, in the Canadian province of Quebec, director William Reeve filmed a documentary called “The Great North,” which focuses on local wildlife. It was only after the film’s release that someone noticed a peculiar creature in one scene, resembling a gorilla or perhaps a yeti. This creature appears for only a few seconds in a scene featuring caribou running along the shore of a pond. In the background, at the center of the frame, a black figure suddenly jumps out, runs for a couple of seconds on bent hind legs, places its forelimbs on the ground, and disappears behind a hillock. From such a distance, it’s difficult to see details, but the front part of the creature’s head and limbs look more like those of a large primate, specifically a gorilla, rather than a bear. It seems that the creature was startled by the large herd of fleeing caribou and sought cover. Initially, it might have attempted to attack the deer but overestimated its capabilities. Naturally, gorillas are not native to Canada, and primates, in general, do not inhabit North America. Additionally, there have been no reports of gorillas escaping from zoos or circuses in Canada. A clip featuring this strange creature was posted on the Internet eight years ago but did not attract much attention until recently, when it went viral. Unfortunately, the film’s director, William Reeve, passed away three years ago. However, he did express his opinion about the creature during his lifetime. He firmly denied the suggestion that it could be a local resident in a fur coat, stating that there was no one in the area except his film crew: “Absolutely not. There weren’t any strangers for hundreds of miles from where we were. It was just us, and we had a very small team of only nine people.” Reeve also dismissed the idea that the figure could be a bear, noting that the area was at the northernmost edge of the bear’s range and that the crew did not spot a single bear during their entire time there. “Furthermore, if a bear were to give chase, it would run on all fours in a horizontal position, but this object appears to be more vertical and seems to be running on two legs.” The post Weird creature spotted in Quebec documentary: Gorilla or Bigfoot? appeared first on Anomalien.com.
