Incident #1000164
Summit Lake, Northeast B.C., British Columbia
Jul 1967
Account
Bill Kleinhout riding in Frontier Helicopter, Watson Lake, with Ian Pointz and pilot named Dugan, about five miles north of the Alaska Highway, Mile 396, in July, 1967. They saw an erect black creature striding uphill, going North, with long strides, yet it appeared to have a long body and short legs. No neck, yet seemed able to swivel head 360 degrees (presum 180 each way). Followed it a few minutes, but were low on gas. Speculate that legs not really short, but obscured by long hair. It was ascending an erosional draw.
