Incident #1000962
Vernon, Okanagan Dis, British Columbia
before 1910
Account
Charles H. Olds recalled a newspaper item, perhaps in the Vernon News, sometime between 1903 and 1910, of large humanlike tracks seen coming down from the hills to the East, between Woods Lake and Duck Lake, crossing the high land back of Okanagan Centre and disappearing at the lake shore. (Duck Lake does not appear on a modern map--may be Ellison Lake, South of Woods Lake.)
