Incident #1000044
Alert Bay, Turnour Isl, British Columbia
Apr 1964
Account
Word reached Ellen Neal that a sasquatch had come to the village on Turnour Island and had shoved at the corner of a house, moving it on its foundation posts. John Green went to the village, where the owner of the house concerned denied the story outright, saying a bear was involved. However at the same time the pilot of Green's chartered plane was chatting at the dock with the father of the house owner, who told him substantially the same story that had reached Ellen Neal. It was noted that all trees and brush had been cleared very recently in a considerable swath around the house.
