Bigfoot Sightings Reported in British Columbia

Possible bigfoot track in Houston, BC.

Houston-Today.com reports that a woman had an encounter with bigfoot back in July in Houston, BC.

The story goes like this:

At 5:45 a.m. that morning of July 28, the woman heard her dogs barking at the door. When she went down to investigate she saw that someone or something was rattling the door handle. Knowing that her son was not due back from his graveyard shift for two more hours, she began to panic.

She eventually opened the door and the dogs were out like a shot, sniffing out something on he east side of her property.

When she looked out at the side of her house, she saw a creature that was walking on two legs.

“It was huge and it had long hair, not fur — kind of like the kind you see on an ox and a reddish brown, the colour of the trees that are killed by the pine beetle,” said the woman. “And it moved so fast, by the time I opened my door it had run from the porch to the other side of the house.”

Once outside, the dogs pursued the creature it continued along a dried-up ravine and disappeared into a forested area. Her oldest dog didn’t return for three hours.

In addition, she heard “crashing outside near her house” this past Sunday. A friend has since also reported a sighting.

The article seems to give two different dates for the sighting – July 26 and 28 – so the paper’s account is already on shaky ground. Add to that the fact that she originally made the report to Brian Vike, “Director of Houston British Columbia Canada (HBCC) UFO Research,” and the believability factor in this report begins to diminish.

Update: I received a kind email from Brian Vike, and it seems the paper’s story suffers from either poor editing or reporting. According to Vike, “the sighting was on July 28, 2008 and the lady called me on the phone to report the sighting on August 26, 2008. This is why the dates may not fit.” So that clears up the date issue. Still doesn’t change the fact that Mr. Vike’s a UFO kook (joking).
