Incident #992783
Port Hawkesbury, Richmond Cty, Nova Scotia
Sep 1990
Account
Johanna Vanderkley and her husband, on the way from Cape Breton Island to Halifax, were on a coastal road when they saw a sasquatch as they rounded a corner and started up a hill. It was crossing the road near the top of the hill, more on four legs than upright. Husband hit the accelerator, creature stood up straight, looked at them and took off, disappearing in the woods. Tan coloured, huge thighs, human-looking face, with startled expression. (Location in doubt. They "had come off Cape Breton Island and...were already on the other island following the coastal road" but there is no second island. They had presumably gone from the eastern section of Cape Breton to the western section but were still on the island.)
