Account

The witness was fishing when a tall reddish-brown creature emerged from the trees and walked along the shoreline. It stopped and looked toward the witness, who called a fishing partner over to confirm the sighting. After low cloud obscured the view, both witnesses returned to their vehicle and left the area.
