Incident #1000183
Harrison Hot Springs, Sasquatch Park, British Columbia
Sep 1974
Account
Sedro Wooley, Washington, woman stayed in car while her husband got out to look at "beaver ponds" with jumping trout in them that could be seen from the road near Hicks Lake. She saw a large erect creature in the brush near the car and went into shock. He did not see it, but his dog's actions indicated some disturbing animal nearby. Dennis Gates and Rene Dahinden both interviewed. Description of terrain does not match well with either beaver pond near Hicks Lake or with Trout Lake. Name not given.
