On June 30, 2003 we had
another report of a possible
Sasquatch encounter from the
same previously-mentioned property
outside of Deroche, BC.
According to the three scared
witnesses who had wandered
into a swampy and remote area
of the property, hardly ever
visited by the residents,
threatening high-pitched
screams, the snapping sounds
of heavy branches and strange,
non-human mumbling or
murmuring voices and other
unintelligible sounds were
heard after they stumbled upon
a crudely built bed made out
of old cedar boughs. The
witnesses also claimed to have
smelled a very strong odor
described as being a mixture
of sulphur, rotten meat or
eggs and human excrement.
On Tuesday, July 29th we had
another report of possible
on-going Sasquatch activity
from the above-mentioned
property owners outside
Deroche, BC. (see Deroche
1998) Shortly before dark the
residents reported hearing
extremely heavy footfalls
outside that shook the entire
house, scaring the females at
home at the time quite badly.
Shortly after this happened,
two very loud high-pitched
screams were heard coming from
just inside the edge of the
bush on their property. The
sounds of the scream
reportedly set off howling
from some of the dogs on farms
in the area. Shortly after
dark the residents were
driving towards town on a road
in front of their property
when a very large rock
suddenly flew from heavy bush
at the roadside and narrowly
missed their vehicle.
Yet another report from
outside Deroche, BC:
Hi my name is Christina and
I live in Deroche, BC. The
scream report that is on
your site was it heard
around 2 am? I was sleeping
in a tent on my deck with my
dog because it was so hot in
the house when at around 2
am a weird very loud scream
woke us both up and made us
jump out of our skins. All
the dogs as far off as I
could hear were all barking
for a while. Also I heard
the same thing about a year
ago while sitting in my
computer room that faces the
north. It too was around 2am
in the morning.

We Investigate:
We had a chance to
investigate the sighting
report outside of Deroche
and we were lucky enough
to find one possible
Sasquatch track measuring
16 inches in length by 6
inches in width. Due to
the prolonged hot and dry
spell of weather we have
been having in the Fraser
Valley, the ground in the
area was hard and dry and
did not lend well to
making tracks - or
tracking any animal at
all.
The single possible track
we did find appeared to be
leading away from what
looked to be a crudely
built nest or bedding area
consisting of scattered
cedar boughs, and was
situated on the crest of a
small knob of soft dirt.
Most of the weight
appeared to be placed on
the toe area of the track
as the foot pivoted and
curled in a natural
stepping motion over the
top of the small mound of
dirt. The big toe measured
3 inches in length and was
impressed into the soil
about one and one half
inches deep. As this track
was not flat and was in a
rough area off the main
trail, it did not appear
to be faked.
We were very impressed
with the age and size of
the trees in the
old-growth forest (mixed
red cedar, Douglas-fir,
hemlock and various
hardwoods, with some trees
over 8 feet across) where
the on-going sasquatch
activity is taking place.
If a sasquatch wanted to
hide in this old-growth
forest I firmly believe it
would be next to
impossible to see it ...
one step behind any one of
a thousand of the huge
trees would be all it
would take for any
intelligent animal to stay
very well concealed.
