Photo caption: BIGFOOT ON SOUTHSIDE? Tyler Beck and Brad Haggerd, U.S. citizens from Wisconsin and Utah, respectively, had just arrived in the Lakes District last week when they saw some footprints on the front yard of the home they are staying in on Bergen Rd. on the Southside. Some very large footprints. “We went down to Prince George for the day on Wednesday, and came back about 9:30 pm, and when we pulled into the drive, we saw these really big footprints,” said Haggerd. “There was a series of them going across the yard. I never believed in Bigfoot or Sasquatches before, but I do now,” added Beck. The two men are in the Lakes District to serve a two-year term as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They promised to keep an eye out for any future evidence of Bigfoot during their stay in the Lakes District.

December, 2008 -- Burns Lake District, British Columbia -- Two missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints received a scare on the night of Dec. 2 when they saw what they think was a set of sasquatch footprints outside of their Burns Lake home.

Tyler Beck and Brad Blazzard are in B.C. for two years, rotating in different communities throughout the Smithers and Burns Lake area for the past seven months.

“The first thing we thought was that someone was playing a trick on us,” Beck said. “But we don’t know anyone our age who would do that and our house in on the Southside, so pretty much in the middle of nowhere.”

The footprints, which Beck said was about 20 inches long is right in front of Beck’s porch, leading to the path where the pair keep their wood shed.

Beck said prior to finding the footprint at 9:30 p.m., on the night of Dec. 2, he didn’t really believe in the possibility of bigfoot.

“I still don’t know what to think,” he said. “I have heard some pretty ridiculous things about bigfoot but now I am leaning toward the edge of thinking it may be possible.”

The house sits in front of a lake and Beck said in the four-and-a-half months he has been there, he has seen all manner of coyotes and wolves. This is the first time he has seen any sign of the fabled creature.
