Incident #1000192
Princeton, Allison Pass, British Columbia
Oct 1975
Account
Frederick Kirkwood and his wife Millie were travelling East on the Hope-Princeton Highway at 2:30 a.m., two miles west of the Allison Pass works yard when they rounded a curve and saw a dark figure come up on the road 100 yards ahead. Slowed almost to a stop, while creature crossed the road angling towards the car. Came within 12 feet, it looked straight ahead and kept going. Eyes looked black, did not reflect. Face was light brown, looked human. Hair covered, 1 1/2 inches long, light coloured, like a dark Golden Retriever. No prominent ears. Hair on backs of hands, but not on feet, which were shiny black and looked wet. About 5 feet 8 inches tall and very heavy, thicker from back to front than a man. Arms normal length. Head hair same length as body hair, and down on forehead but not on face. Nose like human. Neck short but not exceedingly so.
