Incident #1000106
Anahim Lake, Coast Range, British Columbia
Nov 1976
Account
Silas King was driving to Bella Coola from Williams Lake about 3 a.m. in the first snowstorm of the season. Between Red Hill and Young Creek, about 21 miles west of Williams Lake, he saw hugh man-type tracks taking short steps coming down the hill onto the road. He thought the sound of his car had spooked the sasquatch and it had taken off into the woods. He got out and examined the tracks with a flashlight. No dimensions given.
