Ontario is one of North America’s last great wilderness frontiers—millions of acres of deep forest, endless lakes, forgotten logging roads, and vast stretches of bush where a person can travel for days without meeting another soul. But those who know this land best have long whispered about something else out there: a massive, intelligent, humanlike figure that moves through the forest with impossible stealth.

Ontario Bigfoot explores this mystery through eyewitness testimony, Indigenous stories, historical accounts, and modern field investigations. Researcher Timothy D brings together some of the most striking encounters ever reported in the province, revealing patterns that stretch across generations and thousands of kilometres of rugged terrain.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

  • The West Temagami Encounters (2017–Present): A hunting family’s ongoing ordeal involving huge tracks, nighttime knocks, thrown objects, strange chatter, and a face-to-face moment with a towering figure watching them from the trees.

  • The 2009 Algonquin North Gate encounter, where a driver filmed a tall, dark figure on the roadside—still one of Ontario’s most debated sightings.

  • The Sioux Narrows bear-carcass incident, where a creature allegedly carried off a full black bear, followed by multiple staff sightings at a local resort.

  • Kenora’s long list of encounters, including shoreline sightings, road crossings, and blood-chilling night screams.

  • Sudbury, Nickel Belt, and mining-road encounters, with hunters reporting knocks, howls, and large silhouettes.

  • Temiskaming, Nipissing, and North Bay sightings, where paddlers describe being shadowed from ridge lines or hearing footsteps around their tents.

  • Thunder Bay and Lake Superior region reports, including stone throwing and dark shapes outside remote cabins.

  • Eastern Ontario encounters, from trail-camera anomalies to soft “mumbling” sounds heard just beyond the treeline.

These accounts are paired with the author’s own field notes: nights alone with audio gear, heavy footsteps circling camp, distant knocks drifting across lakes, and the unmistakable sensation of being watched—experiences shared by countless hunters, paddlers, and backcountry travellers.

The book also highlights consistent behavior patterns seen across Ontario:

  • Nocturnal vocalizations and howls

  • Tree breaks and territorial displays

  • Stealth movement through rugged terrain

  • Curiosity around camps

  • Thrown stones and branches

  • Humanlike speech-like sounds

  • Large barefoot tracks in remote areas

Indigenous teachings add important context, echoing stories of giants, watchers, and powerful beings who have lived in these forests since long before written history. Many of these descriptions align closely with modern accounts.

From roadside sightings to terrifying nights in isolated cabins, Ontario Bigfoot shows a province-wide pattern: something large, fast, and elusive walks the forests of Ontario. The stories repeat, the details match, and the witnesses—ordinary people from every corner of the province—describe the same impossible creature.

Atmospheric, investigative, and grounded in real encounters, this book examines Bigfoot as a genuine wilderness phenomenon hiding in plain sight. If you’re drawn to deep bush mysteries, remote lakes, and the chilling possibility that something watches from the trees, Ontario Bigfoot offers the clearest look yet at what may be living out there.

The forest is vast.
The encounters are real.
And some mysteries refuse to stay hidden.
