Strange Encounter On Hornby Island

I received a report of a possible Sasquatch Sighting on Hornby Island . This sighting took place back in sept of 1990 . This sighting is the most unusual report I have received to date . The following is a word for word account of the witness :
" My friend and I were returning to his house on Hornby island , we went up to his room, opened the window and had a smoke out on the roof . As we sat there we looked across a small field , maybe 100 to 125 yards across above the fence line there were tall spruce and fir trees about 75' to 100' tall , not huge trees but second growth . At first we thought that it was a gust of wind that was making the branches move up and down but as they did  the movement continued along the tree line about 20' off the ground . I started to make out the shape of a tall figure and it was jumping /swinging through the trees . We both were like "what the hell is that ?" .As we looked on completely able to view this animal , it stopped ,turned and starred right at us . It had bright yellowish glowing eyes and its hair was a greenish moss color just like it was old mans beard . The animal looked at us for a moment , definitely knowing we were there. Then it took off straight into the bush away from us and the encounter was over .
The witness was also asked what time of day or night the incident occurred ? witness says " encounter happened at around 5pm and was a nice day , maybe a little cloudy ". The witness went on to say " It's been a long time since and very little (few) people believed us and the story just got old ". The incident happened just north of the Hornby Co-op general store . There were 2-witnesses to this incident.
When the witness was asked further as to anything else unusual about his encounter ,he went on to say "I do believe that the animal appeared to be hunting or searching for something . Cruising a long in the trees perhaps looking for food. The animal appeared to be very camouflaged , we had to look really close to see what it was but once we made it out , it was clear as day . It was really tall , approx 6'8" to 7"0" , thin and weighed approx 200lbs to 250lbs . It's hair was wavy but longer around the cuffs of the hands and feet .It was droopy looking , a lot like an orangutan . It was really mean looking . It also didn't look really happy that we seen it and gave us the worst looking stare ".
The witness also went on to tell me that they were completely sober when this incident occurred and that the creature was in perfect view .
The witness also went on to say he remembers another odd incident on Hornby island where he seen a friend come home completely bruised and beaten with blood all over him . He says his friend never saw what attacked him and went on further to say "what ever it was was either invisible or to quick to see" , he was thrown around and beaten until he was knocked out.
