Date unknown
Account
Man who phoned radio show said that while travelling from Port McNeil to Port Hardy by motorbike he stopped to warm his hands on the motor. When he started off again he came on two sets of 18-inch tracks crossing the road with three-foot strides. They were only minutes old, as were filling with snow. He apparently gave his name off the air, as card notes that Grover Krantz has it.
