Incident #1000136
Harrison Mills, Chehalis Reserve, British Columbia
May 1934
Account
Newspaper story, presumably by J.W. Burns, states that Mrs. Caulfield was washing clothes in a rivulet when she heard a buzzing sound, looked up and saw a huge man covered with hair from head to foot standing just a few feet away staring at her. She turned her eyes (very bad luck to let a sasquatch catch you eye) and backed into her tub of soap suds. When she looked again the creature was gone. Was over six feet tall and of unusually large proportions. Grand Chief Norman Francis confirms that Mrs. Caulfield was a real person living on the Chehalis Reserve at that time. The story says that the hairy giants of the mountains were being particularly active that year.
