Incident #992626
Molson, Manitoba
Dec 1975
Account
Driving Debby Garbolinsky home from dance, Rodney Dzioba stopped and got out just before Road 214 meets Hwy 44. Looking back to the north, he saw a 7 to 8-foot creature coming at him, so he got in the car and drove off. Next day he and Debby's father, Mike, and her mother's brother found tracks in 4 inches of snow, with the feet dragging between steps. They led over a barbed wire fence, where two dozen white hairs with some brown on them were found. Tracks going from side to side of ditch were followed for 7 miles.
