Incident #1000193
Agassiz, Fraser Valley Dis, British Columbia
Oct 1975
Account
C.L. Butler phoned radio show to say that while driving east in a heavy rainstorm about 6:45 p.m. October 17, 1975, he saw a strange animal run across the Lougheed Highway on Seabird Island three or four miles east of the Agassiz overpass. It was covered with long, reddish-brown hair, and ran like a human all fours, but far too fast for a human. "Just flying." It seemed to run on its hind legs after crossing the road. Estimated standing height would have been 6 to 7 feet, with back legs 3 1/2 to 4 feet long. Definitely not a bear. Legs and feet big, hairy right to ground. Bottoms of feet pink.
