HOUSTON, British Columbia, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Paranormal specialists say there have been three reported Sasquatch sightings in northern British Columbia in Canada within a month.

Brian Vike, director of (Houston, British Columbia, Canada) HBCC UFO Research, told The (Vancouver) Province he doesn't "know what to make of all this."

"I know with UFOs we're doing well in B.C., but I don't know with the Sasquatch," he said. "I'm just trying to figure it out."

Delores Harrie of Houston said her dogs started barking July 28 and when she went outside to see what was what she saw some kind of hairy creature running into a wooded area.

"It was huge, about 7 to 8 feet tall, and hairy," she said. "He had long hair, shaggy."

She said it wasn't a grizzly bear because it was running on two legs.

She notified Vike, who investigated and said he found markings on the ground.

"There's some cow tracks, but this was something else -- someone with a good-sized foot," he said

The report said there was another sighting in the area in July and one in Moricetown, about 90 minutes away, Aug. 27 -- as well as a sighting Aug. 31 in Campbell River on Aug. 31.
