Incident #1000173
Houston, Highway 16 Dis, British Columbia
Jul 1971
Account
Mrs. Byron Sheldon was in a trailer at their recreational property on Buck Flats Road north of Grizzly Lake, 18 miles south of Houston, after breakfast one day in July, 1971, when a creature she estimated to be 8 feet tall, covered with long white hair, long arms hanging down to knees, came out of the bush on the other side of Buck Creek perhaps 40 feet away, and walked by. It never looked her way. The next morning she saw a similar creature, brown in colour, come out of the bushes and go down to the creek. An 8 mm. movie taken of something inside a neighbour's house the next summer, shows through a window what appears to be a large white, upright creature, walking up out of the creek. distance from the house. Mrs. Sheldon says that other people have seen similar creatures in the area. One witness is Dave Borden's father in law.
