An Alberta, Canada man is driving towards Edmonton one night. As he approached the Hangingstone River he observed the eyeshine of a huge creature. He later determines what it really was.
"While I was listening to you, a memory popped into my head from about 25 years ago. I can't remember what time of year it was but it was dark so it had to be late summer or early fall because there was there was no snow and the trees hadn't started turning yet.
I was driving to Edmonton, Alberta one night and I was coming to the Hangingstone River. I had just passed the Department of Highways yard and was parallel to the Hangingstone Campground when I noticed two bright reflections on the other side of the river on the slope of the hill near the top. This grabbed my attention at the time because I had driven that highway for years and couldn't remember seeing reflectors in that spot before.
As I crested the hill on the north side of the river heading down to the bridge I was still looking at the reflectors when I realized that it was eyeshine because I could see the silhouette of some kind of an animal. The eyes were huge as I mentioned above. I thought they were reflectors of some sort. I never took my eyes off this thing. It was dimly lit by my headlights and it was about halfway between the road and and the tree line. As I was driving past this thing I could see the shape of it and what it looked like to me was a giant doe or a cow moose because there were no antlers. It was sitting on its haunches like a dog would. It never shifted its gaze, it just sat there staring across the river. I was looking at it in profile as I passed. The first thing that crossed my mind was the sheer size of it, so I figured it must have been a really big cow moose. Then it struck me how odd it was for a moose to be sitting on its haunches like that because it looked just like an enormous dog. Then the goosebumps hit me and I put the pedal to the metal and sped away. But as I did that I was thinking of how silly I was to be afraid of a moose sitting like a puppy.
I can still picture in my mind's eye, just sitting there staring off across the river. It looked like a giant dog but my mind wouldn't let me process that. So it was a big cow moose at that point in my life. I was curious about the Sasquatch and I had never heard of the Dogman, so neither of those things was even on my radar at that moment. Every time I've told that story I've always said it was a moose. So, for your video to trigger that memory so vividly I believe that I have been wrong all these years about what I saw that night and I believe that I do know now what it actually was."
