Incident #1000234
Sechelt, Sechelt Peninsula, British Columbia
Oct 1971
Account
Jon Stewart was prospecting on the Sechelt Peninsula at about the 3500-foot level when he came over a hill and saw two creatures of human shape covered with hair the colour of a collie dog near some swamp holes. It looked as if they had been pulling up lilly roots. Creatures took off. Stewart and Warren Geiger found many footprints, but of poor quality. John Green and Rene Dahinden went with him to the site the following year.
