Sasquatch Sightings

Account

Newspaper stories tell of four men from Qualicum, A.B. Crump. J. Kincaid, T. Hutchins and W. Buss, hunting near Horne Lake when they came upon a wild man, apparently young, with long matted hair and beard and a profusion of hair all over his body. "He ran like a deer through seemingly impenetrable undergrowth, and pursuit was utterly impossible." The men are quoted as saying that there have been several previous reports of such a creature in the vicinity of Horne Lake but they were not believed because there were only one or two witnesses.(More likely that they were not believed because the witnesses were Indians. JWG) There were three other reports of wild man sightings on southern Vancouver Island the following year, one of them by James Kincaid..
