Account
Virgil and Ardyee Taken Alive and a younger sister were driving along the Grand River when they saw a sasquatch sunning itself on the opposite bank. They stopped and the creature got up and walked off. It was smaller than those previously reported, suggesting for the first time that there was more than one.
