Terrible Sasquatch Is Reported Again
HARRISON MILLS, B.C. (AP) — Indian children cling to their mothers’ apron strings today for the terrible sasquatch — a giant hairy and horrid — is on the prowl again.
For hundreds of years the sasquatch has been a fearsome "bogey-man" to the northwest Indians. It may be male or female, but it always is hairy and malicious.
None had been reported for 30 years, but horror swept the lodges of the primitive Chehalis tribe today, as word was whispered that the hairy wild one has returned.

HAIRY TRIBE OF WILD MEN IN VANCOUVER
Vancouver, B.C. — Reports that survivors of the tribe of wild men known as "Sasquatch," a race of ferocious hairy giants, who dwelt in caves in British Columbia years ago, still are roaming the rocky wilds near Vancouver, have been revived here.
The tribe was believed to have become extinct 30 years ago, but during the last year it frequently has been reported that survivors have been seen prowling near scattered settlements around Vancouver. The wild men are described as "hairy giants, nine feet tall, with a ferocious appearance and demeanor."
Seen by Woman
Mrs. James Caufield, living on a farm near Harrison, B.C., is the latest to report seeing one of the giants. Mrs. Caufield relates that she was washing clothes in a river when she heard a buzzing sound similar to that made by a humming bird.
"I turned my head," she said, "but instead of a bird there stood the most terrible thing I ever saw in my life. I thought I’d die for the thing that made the funny noise was a big man covered with hair from head to foot. He was looking at me and I couldn’t help looking at him. I guessed he was a Sasquatch so I covered my eyes with my hand, for the Indians say that if a Sasquatch catches your eye you are in his power. They hypnotize you. I felt faint and as I backed away to get to the house I tripped and fell. As he came nearer I screamed and fainted."
Screams Brought Husband Mrs. Caufield’s screams brought her husband running out of the house just in time to see the giant run off into the bush.
On another occasion two canoeists reported that the giant saw them paddling down a river and started hurling rocks at them.
