Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Colleen McDonald:


I talked to the witness July 16, 2007.

She works as a nurse and has lived in B.C. all of her life. She is familiar with the local wildlife. I found her to be very credible.

She lives in Ladysmith. Haslam Creek runs nearby. This area isn't very far from the Nanaimo River.

She said she heard the sound in the direction of the North Oyster Bay School that is on Cedar Road. The school is closed down now. The area is mostly forested but it is being developed and a portion of it has recently been logged.

The sound came from the direction of the North Oyster Bay School that is on Cedar road. The school is closed down now.

She heard a howling sound twice. It made the hair on the back of her neck stand up and dogs started barking in the distance. Her neighbor also heard the strange howling and he is an avid hunter. She hasn't heard anything like it since and hasn't heard of any other activity in her area, at least that we are presently aware of.
