Incident #992617
Werner Lake, Ontario, Manitoba
Dec 1974
Account
Joanna Moore and Gary Holochuck, driving from Werner Lake to Winnipeg about 8 p.m., just across the Manitoba border on Hwy 315, saw a dark, tawny creature run across the road, hunched over. Est. 6'3" to "close to 7 ft." Came from lakeside on left to hill on right. Witnesses found tracks in snow, too far apart to be made by a human. The tracks were checked next day by geologist Brian Weir from Faraday Mine at Werner Lake.
