Sasquatch (Ruby Creek Incident)
FOLLOWHarrison Hot Springs, BC
DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
The Harrison River valley is where the word "Sasquatch" entered English, through Indian agent J.W. Burns' April 1929 article in Maclean's recording accounts from the Sts'ailes (Chehalis) community; the town now bills itself as the Sasquatch capital of Canada.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
In October 1941 at Ruby Creek, about 14 km northeast on the Fraser, Jeannie Chapman reported a roughly 7.5-foot dark-haired figure with very long arms approaching the family cabin. She shielded her children with a blanket and left for her father-in-law's house; the family reported further nocturnal visits and howls before abandoning the cabin within a week.
VISITING
Harrison Hot Springs is a public resort town; Ruby Creek is a rural area along the Fraser.
