Class A First-hand BFRO #26765

Man recalls seeing a sasquatch near Little Qualicum Falls on Vancouver Island

August 1987 about 11:00 pm at night Whiskey Creek, British Columbia 3 witnesses

Account

Late at night the witness and two companions drove into a deserted gravel pit and illuminated a tall hair-covered human-like figure with headlights from 50-75 feet away. The figure stood motionless and looked toward the car before the occupants fled in fear. A daylight search days later found only disturbed sandy banks with no distinct footprints.
