Dru Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 Squamish will be climbable this weekend. But look out for Sasquatch! Bigfoot has them talking -- again Vancouver Islanders report 'great, hairy beasts.' Mark Hume investigates. With files from Graham Andrews, Alberni Valley Times National Post Enthusiast John Kirk hopes to hear a report of a sasquatch scratching itself on a tree so as to be able to gather DNA samples. Other evidence is slim and even this image from a 1967 film is likely a hoax. VANCOUVER - A flurry of Sasquatch sightings on Vancouver Island and near Squamish on the Lower Mainland have revived hopes, among those who believe in the paranormal, that evidence of a mythical North American ape may yet be found. "It has been really quiet for a long time, but now we're getting something of a comeback for Sasquatch sightings," John Kirk, president of the British Columbia Cryptozoology Club said yesterday. Mr. Kirk, whose organization seeks to document credible sightings by interviewing eyewitnesses and searching for physical evidence, said reports of "great hairy beasts" near Squamish and Port Alberni are encouraging. "What we are really hoping for is that someone will have seen one of these animals rub against a tree or some branches so that we might recover a hair sample, or even some blood, that would allow us to do some DNA testing," he said. The latest reports came in from the east coast of southern Vancouver Island this week, where three people say they saw strange creatures between Port Alberni and Tofino. Another individual has reported hearing the animals howling in the forest. The Alberni Valley Times said in a story that Arnold Frank and Patrick Frank, his nephew, claim to have seen the creature twice. The first encounter was in the bush: They heard a crashing sound and glimpsed the creature through the trees. "We just saw some real big orange eyes, real high off the ground," Arnold Frank said. The two men reported seeing the same creature run into the woods a few nights later when they drove along the highway. "We both figured it was too big to be a bear," Mr. Frank said. "And bears don't walk on two legs." They estimated the creature to be about 2.4 metres tall. "To see something that big would scare anybody," said Mr. Frank, whose brother, Alex Frank, has reported hearing creatures in the thick woods in the area. "There's a weird howling sound going on around Indian Bay during the day," he said. The paper also reported that an elderly woman claims to have seen a creature crossing the road in front of her car: "The gigantic biped allegedly stopped in front of her car, and looked directly at her before disappearing into the bush." Jessie Hamilton, an elder with the Hupacasath First Nation, said there are references to Sasquatch encounters in oral history, including one story about a man who wrapped himself in a blanket to hide, only to be picked up and twirled in the air before being set back down. Mr. Kirk said there have not been many sightings of Sasquatch on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but he is encouraged by the recent accounts. "It's not an area that's been great for sightings. There might have been one or two over the years. But ... we think it's worth following up. "The description of orange eyes gives them some credibility," he said. "There's a reflective characteristic for Sasquatch eyes from all the sightings. ... Many people report red, glowing eyes, and orange would just be a variation of that." Mr. Kirk said the Vancouver Island reports follow closely on alleged encounters in the Squamish area, in which a larger animal was seen with two that are smaller. Mr. Kirk said it could be a female with juveniles. "One report was by a woman who was camping. She was wakened by sounds in the early morning, looked out of her tent and saw the three animals," he said. He said several other sightings from the same area have independently described an apparent adult with two juveniles. "This seems to be the same group of animals seen repeatedly," he said. Reports of Sasquatch go back in B.C. history to undated native accounts from before European contact. But despite hundreds of expeditions by amateur Sasquatch hunters, no one has ever come back with any hard evidence of the mythical creatures. Some people have recorded video footage, and others have collected casts of footprints, but in all cases the evidence has been suspect or discredited as a hoax. Mr. Kirk acknowledged that no matter how numerous or how intriguing the sighting reports have been, nobody has ever come up with proof that Sasquatch exist. © Copyright 2002 The Ottawa Citizen Quote

Ok then give him some Rohypnol instead and take advantage of the period of lowered inhibitions and no memory to get him to do something he will get fired for. Quote
