Incident #1000033
Chilliwack, Fraser Valley Dis, British Columbia
Oct 1962
Account
Informant was driving between Chilliwack and Abbotsford via Vedder Crossing. Between there and Yarrow he rounded a curve and saw what he thought was an extremely large man standing at the edge of the road. Coming closer, slowing to a stop about 25 feet away, he saw that it was a creature covered with hair. It half walked and half loped across the road and he turned the car to follow it with the headlights, then it stopped at the edge of the road, looked at him for a second then jumped without effort up onto a rock that he subsequently determined was six feet high, disappearing out of the light.
