- Nestled away in the southern section
of the "Surrey Corridor" of British Columbia lies the upper
middle class area of Crescent Beach. Within this otherwise typical neighbourhood
is a beautiful, green area called Crescent Park.
-
- Encompassed by towering evergreens and
thick groves of deciduous trees, this spot offers a perfect getaway for
bored local youth to gather on weekends and summer evenings.
-
- Numerous reports have been given of a
mysterious fog like apparition seen hovering, rising and generally darting
about the area. Richard Cook, 22 of White Rock tells of seeing the strange
figure coming out from behind a tree one balmy July evening as he and a
few friends walked the trails. "It just popped out and stood in front
of us before it darted by us. It came so close you could feel the breeze."
On another occasion Jason Vutch and several friends were sitting in the
back of his pick-up truck in the park when ''The Jogger'' as it has come
to be known, streaked by the astonished group of teens at a speed that
left them wide-eyed and terrified. They promptly left in the opposite
direction.
-
- Trevor Lawrence and Jeremy Olson, both
21 of White Rock, experienced the strange phenomenon one October evening
while out for a walk. "We couldn't believe it," said Trevor,
"It was a huge ball that looked like fog that was lit from the inside.
It kept rising, then it disappeared. It looked like a flash, like a picture
was being taken".
-
- Still others tell of strange drum-like
sounds emanating from the woods surrounding the park. Jeremy spoke of
the steady sound of "Indian rhythm s" he and Trevor heard that
autumn evening. "They were pretty scary." Two teenage girls
spoke of seeing a nude man running through the park one day. He was covered
in blood. "It totally freaked us out." said one of the girls
who asked to remain anonymous.
-
- Just a few of the strange stories continue
to surface from this strange area called "The Surrey Corridor".
