Sasquatch Sightings

Account

This is a confusing situation, with a lot of witnesses to say that some sort of creature was around, and some evidence but generally unconvincing. Mrs. Jack Grattan said a creature broke into her house while she was visiting a neighbour and left a pile of moss on the floor. She also said she had seen what she considered to be a sasquatch from the rear about 100 yards away at 3 a.m. one night. Her boarder, Gordon Ferrier, said he looked out the kitchen window at 6:30 a.m. and saw a thing on two legs with a hairy face, turned up nostrils, a slit in the hair for a mouth, ears short, high on the head and coming to a point, thick hair on really husky legs, and a long, furry tail. Tracks reported found that showed only three toes and were deep, wide as a handspan and three inches longer than a 12 inch boot. Height estimate was close to 6 feet, and very heavy (guessed 350 pounds), hair ginger coloured, makes noises like an owl and crashes through the bush at all hours. Personal enquiry did not get all this sorted out. Houses of the witnesses were in a row on a street, but backed on to woods near the Mamquam River. Police cast some footprints, but said they turned out to be human. Residents did not think police took the matter seriously.
