Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia (1924)
Account
The witness was prospecting and camping near the head of Toba Inlet when supplies were disturbed for three nights. He was then carried inside his sleeping bag for about three hours to an enclosed valley. There a family group of four hair-covered beings held him for six days, during which he shared small gifts and observed their behavior. He escaped after the adult male swallowed snuff and became ill, then hiked out to civilization.
