Sasquatch sighting near Mission, British Columbia
Account
A hunter who moved from Northern Ireland told the guest he rode his motorbike up a logging road in summer and saw a giant naked hairy man sunbathing on its side on a rocky ledge. Thinking it was a person, he waved and rode on, but when it stood up huge and ran swiftly up the mountain on two legs he braked, turned back scared, and later identified it from a book as a sasquatch while insisting it was a giant man not an ape.
