Incident #1000023
Steveston, Lulu Isl, British Columbia
Jul 1966
Account
Informant saw creature from the road in an overgrown patch inside the dyke on Lulu Island (Richmond). He made a drawing of a slim, hair-covered creature with one hand curved back and up, quite similar to the position seen in the best frame of the Patterson movie, which was not shot until the following year. However, there was a subsequent newspaper report quoting him as saying that he had made up the whole story as a publicity stunt for a Centennial event in Richmond. ????
