Incident #1000021
Steveston, Lulu Isl, British Columbia
Jul 1966
Account
Informant had driven out on the Fraser River dyke, at the south end of No. 3 Road in Richmond, and was relaxing before going to work (managed shopping centre) when a hair-covered upright creature came from behind a tree at the base of the dyke on the land side and crossed a dirt road leading to a farm, disappearing in the bushes on the other side of the road. There had been two sightings reported in Richmond (Lulu Island) on the previous day and one a few days earlier. They progressed from east (No. 8 road) to west, (No.5 rd. and No. 2 rd.). This one at No. 3 rd. suggests a pattern that a single creature had wandered from the east end of the island to the west on July 20, after presumably spending several days in the bog/small tree area near No. 8 rd., and that finding the west end of the island to be crowded with houses etc. it was on its way east again on the morning of the 21st.
