The Ruby Creek Incident 1941.
This incident was kept virtually secret from anyone out side the family and friends until 1958 because the family did not want the ridicule that they knew followed these type of stories.
The location was a place just outside of Agassiz, in British Columbia and it involves the Chapman's family.
(Mr,Mrs Chapman and there three children)
George Chapman was a rail road worker and was often away from home for days or weeks at a time, Mrs Chapman (Jennie) was at home with the children and home was a wooden cottage way out in the country. They had no neighbors for miles around and so the children would play in the fields and woods of the area, while mother would tend the chickens and their kitchen garden, growing fruit and vegetables, there idyllic home life was soon to have a visitor that would shatter this illusion of a happy country home.
It was a bright day, at about 3pm in the afternoon when the Chapman's oldest boy came in to the house and looking quite worried!, he told his mother that he had been playing and could see a strange cow-like creature come out of the treeline.... "Its now making it way down hillside toward their home!!!".
Mrs Chapman put her arms around her boy to comfort him and said " Lets go see"... With her boy by her side she looked up the hill and saw the head and shoulders of what she took to be a bear moving through the undergrowth in a peculiar way. Jennie Chapman thought the size of this bear looked very large indeed and immediately called the rest of her brood, two other children, aged five and seven in from the fields.
With the calling the Creature stepped up and out of the underbrush and at once Mrs Chapman could see it was no-bear!!!.
It looked like a gigantic man, covered all over in brownish-ochre colored hair, as the great man reached one of the outer fence post of the homestead Jennie could see just how large this wild-man was.
Mrs Chapman thought it stood 7.6 ft tall, with broad shoulders and a barrel chest the creature looked around . It seemed to smell the air and look for the source of Mrs Chapman's voice...
The creatures skin was almost black and it had very long arms, strong looking hands and when it saw the mother and son!. There was a cold locking of eyes as they all watched each other.
Then the mountain giant threw its head back and started to emit a long low cry that gurgled in to a sort of whistle and seemed to cut the very air.
Then a quick as the whistle ended the giant began purposely striding down the hill towards the house. Alarmed Mrs Chapman hurried her children towards the house and with her mind racing Jennie Chapman did something that showed amazing perception!.
She ordered the children in to the house, telling the oldest boy to grab a large blanket! and return to her outside with them all under the blanket!!!.
Mrs Chapman was getting out of there!, the house was made of wood and although her husband George had made the outer doors bear-proof, Mrs Chapman did not think any door would withstand this now very close gigantic man-creature breathing down the family's necks as it lurched over fence lines towards the home, Mrs Chapman and her three small children.
All that mattered to Jennie Chapman was her children under the blanket, she ushered the bundle of children along the path from their home and toward the woods and the Creek. The blanket was employed to disgise the children from the beast approaching.
Jennie thought that the creature had seen the children run it to the house and if it did not see them leave!!!. The Man-Bear would may be look for them in the house and not follow Mrs Chapman and blanket down the garden path...
This would give the Chapman's vital minuets head start from their uninvited gatecrasher!.
When the group got out of sight the blanket was thrown to the grown and they all took to their heels and ran along the creek towards the village...
After some time the family reached the down stream location of Mrs Chapman's father's home. There the children ran in to the arms of grandfather, while the whole account was relayed to concerned father. He made food for the group and allowed them to rest.
Two hours later George Chapman arrived home to a sean of devastation!. His wife and children were nowhere to be seen and had not replayed to his frantic calls...
Mr Chapman searched the ransacked house, stepping over the shattered bear door, terribly worried he looked in the hiding places of the house and then the food store out house. There he took note of a 55 gallon barrel of salted-fish that had been lifted and shattered on the floor, half eaten fish lying around.
George Chapman then left the house and fighting back both fear and rage, he focused on the floor and what it could tell him?.
To his horror he saw the footprints of a wild-man of the woods, stomped all around the house. Then George noticed the footprints of his wife and three children going across the garden and down to the creek away from the home and toward the village.
Mr Chapman followed the tracks past the discarded blanket and down stream toward safety, when George Chapman had convinced himself that his wife was not followed and the children must be safe, he turned back to the family home.
Showing no fear Mr Chapman decided to track down the intruder who had violated his happy family home and caused his wife and children to flee for the distant village.
George tracked the wild-man from the house , across a potato field and back along the creek . It had then returned to the hill it had came across and in to the forest.
Mr Chapman thought that the wild-man had left the home about an hour before he had arrived.
George Chapman then decided to make for his father in-law's house and on arriving saw all his shaken family.
Grandfather and father then returned to the home so armed!. Loaded rifles a piece.
The next day George Chapman went to work leaving his father in-law guarding the home in-case the Wild-Man returned. The Sasquatch as they now were calling it did not return that day, however three days later howls were heard in the forest and for five days track around the house were seen and the whole event had taken its toll on the once happy Chapman family.
George and Jennie Chapman abandoned their family home...
Never to return!...
