Class A First-hand BFRO #65223

Swedish archaeologist has a clear daylight sighting during BFRO expedition near Harrison Lake

12 September 2016 about 3:30 p.m. Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding as a passenger in a car driving back from an expedition on a sunny afternoon when he noticed movement on the left side of the road near a bridge. He reports seeing a reddish-brown hair-covered human-like figure for 2-3 seconds as it moved from a trench toward trees and froze with its body still while its eyes followed the car. He says he made eye contact, felt frightened, and froze without alerting the driver, only mentioning the sighting later after reaching the destination.
