Incident #1000024
New Westminster, Lulu Isl, British Columbia
Jul 1966
Account
Informant was putting up a fence among small trees in a boggy area with some small trees when he heard his cattle running in the field nearby. Going to see what was happening he observed them being chased by a large hairy creature "running on all twos." This was almost a week before three sightings at the other end of Lulu Island. There was a newspaper story at the time. Informant's brother was said to have seen the creature in the distance on another occasion, running after the cattle as they headed towards the barnyard. These were range cattle, recently brought for finishing, and were not accustomed to the barnyard, but they stampeded up to the buildingss on several occasions.
