Albert Ostman's captivity story
Prospector Albert Ostman said that in 1924, near Toba Inlet in British Columbia, a Sasquatch carried him off in his sleeping bag and a family of them held him for about six days.

The account
He kept the story to himself until 1957, when the newspaper coverage of Sasquatch encouraged him to tell it; he swore a statement in 1957 and was interviewed by John Green and others.
The sceptical view
The account was told 33 years later with no supporting evidence, and some details resemble earlier wild-man tales.
