Class A First-hand BFRO #34822

Memory told of a nighttime sighting while traveling on a mountainside near Rossland

BFRO YEAR: about 1969 early evening, around 7:30 pm Rossland, British Columbia 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was riding in the back seat of a car driving up a mountain dirt road in the evening to watch the sky. In the headlights at a hairpin where a creek crossed the road, she saw a tall grey hairy figure bent over the creek. It stood, took a long stride, stepped up a steep dirt bank and disappeared into trees within moments. A companion in the back seat also saw it and was frightened, while the two occupants in the front seat were looking elsewhere and saw nothing.
