Tina Brown and Herman Collison saw the creature in their headlights, standing in the bush at a church camp seven miles north of Skidegate Mission. She said it was about 7 feet tall, hair all over, including face, small beady eyes, looked more like a gorilla than a man. After the lights hit it it walked away into the bush. Police were called but found nothing.
