Account
Doug Babb and another man, dirving to town almost dusk on a rainy day, saw creature standing in middle of creek, 75 yards off, just over waist deep in water 6 to 8 feet deep. It walked off upstream with water surging around and disappeared in fog. Babb tells of nine years of activity up to 1989, recorded in log books. Two sightings of silhouette besides this sighting, in '85 and '86. Has cast tracks, don't know when. Screams, whistles and branches torn off trees in woods behind house. Tracks in snow photographed. Smell. Dogs go bananas. Neighbour saw one with head just below branch 11 ft 8 in. off ground. Tri-City UFO group has casts. Larry Battson has investigated. So has Dennis Pilichis.
