Man recollects multiple encounters from 1970 to present near Kootenay, Chadsey & Davis Lakes
Account
On a warm summer night in 1993, the witness rode with two companions in a truck from the lakeside cabin toward a property above. In the headlights about 100 metres away they saw a small dark hairy creature crouched on all fours in the road with long straight legs, no visible tail or protruding ears, and large bright shining eyes. After a moment of sudden fear the group drove up a driveway, discussed the sighting briefly, and returned minutes later to find nothing.
