			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=832417">National Post</a>: &#8220;Tales of a giant, hairy ape-like creature tramping through the woods are running wild in a northern interior B.C. town after a rash of sasquatch sightings.</p>
<p>There have been three reported sightings in the area within a month, said Brian Vike, the Houston, B.C.-based director of HBCC UFO Research. &#8216;To be honest with you, I don&#8217;t know what to make of all this,&#8217; said Mr. Vike. &#8216;I know with UFOs we&#8217;re doing well in B.C., but I don&#8217;t know with the sasquatch. I&#8217;m just trying to figure it out.&#8217;</p>
<p>One of the sightings was reported by Houston resident Delores Harrie, who was at home on July 28 just after 6 p.m., when her two dogs began barking furiously. She saw the doorknob rattle, and when she went outside to investigate, she saw a shaggy creature running across the tree line into the bushes.
</p>
<p>&#8216;It was huge &#8211; about seven to eight feet tall &#8211; and hairy,&#8217; said Ms. Harrie, 45. &#8216;He had long hair, shaggy&#8230; in a pine-beetle colour, totally covered.&#8217; &#8216;I couldn&#8217;t believe how fast he moved,&#8217; she added. &#8216;I can&#8217;t see it being a grizzly. They run but they don&#8217;t run on two legs. I know it&#8217;s not a moose either.&#8217;</p>
<p>Ms. Harrie, who was &#8216;freaked out&#8217; about the encounter, said she&#8217;s trying to be open-minded about what she saw. &#8216;There are so many things out there. I think it would be a little crazy to think we&#8217;re the only ones here.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
