Various incidents on British Columbia Expedition

25 August 2005 about 4:30 a.m. [Sunshine Coast Region - North Of Vancouver], British Columbia 2 witnesses

Account

During a multi-night group expedition the witness slept locked in a truck parked on a logging road above the tent camp. At about 4:30 a.m. something struck the truck, waking the witness, who remained still with eyes closed and heard heavy bipedal footsteps walk away down the road. After a radio mic click apparently drew it back past the truck, the steps departed again toward another camper's position, who also reported hearing movement. The episode lasted about 15 to 20 minutes and involved no visual sighting.
