Bigfoot sighting in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Date unknown · 980 AD - Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Web post claims Leif Erikson's journal described hairy men with a rank odor and shriek in Newfoundland around 980 AD; it suggests they were Indigenous Skraelings.

The account itself raises a hoax or a misidentification.
