Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Informant was driving eastbound on the Trans Canada Highway when he saw a creature standing on the east shoulder of the road near Skihist campsite. He described it as approximately 7 feet tall, 300 to 500 pounds, covered with fairly short greyish-brown heair. Its legs were quite long and it had enormous muscular arms. The face was like that of a wizened old man. As his vehicle approached and the creature was illuminated by the headlights it threw up its arms as if in surrender, then jumped into to the ditch, fleeing into the darkness of the bush. The informant turned his car and drove back five miles to Lytton to report to the police there. They noted that he had not been drinking and appeared normal. He said that his dog practically tore the cab of the truck apart trying to get out when the creature was sighted, and the policeman noted that the doog was still very excited. A search at that time and also in daylight next day showed no footprints in the soft soil in the ditch except some made the previous day by Higways employees. Away from the ditch the soil was hard. occur
