Incident #1000150
Langley, Fraser Valley Dis, British Columbia
Feb 1960
Account
Mrs. D. Mott wrote that her younger son went out about 7 a.m. to clear the barn before milking, came back in the house very agitated, and said he had seen through a wide opening in boards of a shed a creature outside estimated four and one half feet high, covered with shaggy hair, and walking like a human but slightly crouching. They did not find (or look for?) tracks in the snow because children had trampled it all playing the evening before.
