NEAREST TOWN: Squamish

NEAREST ROAD: Hwy 99

OBSERVED: My husband, son & myself were on the Conroy Service Rd. 2km up from the Hwy 99 The road became de-activeted so we parked and walked in with the dog.

We weren't too far up the road when I stopped to tie my shoe. Everyone was waiting for me when we heard a deep grunt or growl. I'm not sure if the dog startled something or we did. My husband
saw something running on two legs about 80 yards up in the bush. He said it was black and was running on two legs. We also smelled a very strong odor. We went a little further up the road and our son didn't want to go any further. Also we encountered the smell again and decided to go back down the road. The dog was ahead as usual,he was in the bush just off the road and he let out
a yelp and came running out, he wasn't limping or
anything.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 adults and an 11 year old boy and the dog,
walking and talking.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: late morning sunny clear day

ENVIRONMENT: Very dense fir, cedar and decidous forrest.


Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Blaine McMillan :

I spoke with both witnesses by phone.

The family was hiking on a de-activated service road in a narrow valley. Shortly after starting up the road the group stopped for a couple of moments as she had to tie her shoe. At that point the group heard a deep growl and her husband then spotted a large bipedal figure running in the bushes parallel to the road at a distance of 80 yards. He said it was black in colour and moved quickly on two legs. There was a strong, wet musky odour.

The group proceeded a little farther up the road at which point they smelled the odour again. At this point the witnesses son refused to proceed any farther. Their dog which had ran ahead let out a yelp and returned to the group.
