Terrace, Skeena Valley, British Columbia
1952
Account
Man from Terrace visiting N.J. Dyck's dinosaur park told him that he saw something standing beside a main road, slowed down and stopped his car. The creature, standing upright, watched him for a while then turned and walked away. It stopped in the underbrush and turned around again. As it was dusk he could not see its features. No further description, Dyck was listing sasquatch reports in his letter. Happened in 1952. Man said there were two other people who claimed to have seen the same thing in the same general area that year.
