Incident #1000135
Klemtu, Swindle Isl, British Columbia
Jun about 1930
Account
Tom Brown was present as a child at Kwakwa, where Klemtu people once lived on the west side of Swindle Island (Indian Reserve 7) when the adults heard a noise of something walking in the shallow water, and saw and shot at a sasquatch, using rifles, shotguns and a revolver. He did not see it but heard it scream. They thought it fell in the water but nothing was there in the morning.
