Possible sighting near Bowser on Vancouver Island
Account
About 2.5 years before the report, a 4.5-year-old boy was riding in a van with his mother and grandmother while the family looked for firewood near Bowser. Looking out the open door toward a clearcut bordered by alders, the boy saw a tall upright brown-black animal emerge, take several steps, pause to look at the van, then return to cover. He described it as walking on two legs and swinging its arms, seeing it from the waist up.
