- St. Laurent, Manitoba
- Date: August 2003 (end of)
- Time: evening (after dark)
-
- I had a telephone call from a gentleman from St. Laurent,
Manitoba on September 22, 2003. The area where this event took place is
mainly a Matee community. The fellow I talked to said he and his wife bought
a business and have lived in the community for thirteen years and know
many of the area residents.
-
- In the last week of August, 2003 four youths were driving
south of St. Laurent towards the golf course on golf course road (as many
folks there call it). The road runs by Francis Lake and the golf course
is on the left hand side of the road when traveling south. As they drove
along they noticed an abandoned vehicle off to the side of the road across
from the golf course. At this point they all saw flashing lights over and
above one of the buildings on the course. The lights seemed to be sitting
stationary in one spot and low over the sheds. They assumed, after seeing
the car pulled off to the side of the road and the lights flashing, that
someone may have been breaking into the sheds. Two of the young men decided
to sneak in to see if they might catch someone causing damage, the other
two went back home to get their parents and have them come down to the
area where all this was taking place.
-
- As the two youths were approximately half way into the
course and as they approached a small road which passed by one of the dugouts,
they heard a very loud, piercing scream. As they kept walking for approx:
another 100 feet, all of a sudden this "thing" was right in front
of them and screaming out this loud screeching noise. A three foot high
creature ran in front of them and it was only about 25 feet away. Both
witnesses were taken totally by surprise and very frightened as they had
no idea what this thing was. It didn't help that it was dark outside. Both
of them ran back towards the road where they had been dropped off, but
seeing they did not have a vehicle they cowered in the ditch which ran
along side the road hoping that whatever it was they saw would not find
them. Finally their two friends returned with a couple of the parents and
when the vehicle stopped the two guys who witnessed the creature, hurridly
jumped into the vehicle. "Let's get out of here" they said ....
however the parents did go and check the buildings and found nothing had
been disturbed. They all talked about the event on their way home.
-
- The lights which were seen hovering over the buildings
were a red, greenish and white colour. The witnesses mentioned that not
a sound could be heard coming from where the lights were seen. Also they
claimed seeing another light hovering over Francis Lake which was totally
red. Again not a sound could be heard.
-
- On the same night, shortly after the above sighting ......another
man, driving his van, had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting a similar
creature. He claimed that it was about 10 feet in front of him when he
finally came to a complete stop. It moved to the driver's side of the van
and squatted down, bending slightly to one side, looked up at the frightened
driver. The man described the creature as being small and having a protruding
jaw filled with a number of teeth. He put the truck into reverse and headed
out of there as fast as he could. After thinking about what just happened,
and what he saw, he broke down and started to cry.
-
- Another series of events have taken place in the same
general area.
-
- A local resident who had some 27 chickens well penned
up in a "heavy steel wired" area, found on the following day,
that 20 of his poultry had disappeared. A large hole had been ripped in
the strong wire fence. The resident looked around the area and found one
chicken still partly alive in the bushes behind their home and it had
two puncture holes at the base of its neck. No other chickens were found.
Strangely, also there has been a large number of domestic cats which have
gone missing just over the same time period, which is definitely not normal
and there does not seem to be any explanation for their disappearance.
-
- The fellow claims that there is a lot of history of unknown
objects being seen in and around the community. He also said that the creature
had been spotted on other occasions throughout the St. Laurent area.
-
- The lights were strange, the creature was strange...
what they were and whether or not they were connected is anyone's guess.
There does seem to be something very weird happening in this particular
part of Canada. I will continue to look into this and see what, if anything
more , I can discover about it. Due to the community being tight lipped
about such strange events its not going to be an easy task.
