In August 1970 the North Bay Nugget reported that a bus taking some 27 miners to the night shift near Cobalt nearly went off the road when the driver braked for a hairy figure walking on two legs.

The account
The driver first took it for a bear until it walked upright across the road. It is the best-documented episode of the Cobalt legend.
The sceptical view
Seen at night in headlights for seconds; bears do stand and walk briefly on hind legs.
