Account
The witness and a relative were trout fishing in a river in the morning, with the witness on a rock mid-river. The witness saw a hair-covered bipedal figure across the river watching them for several seconds. The figure then turned and walked uphill into a thicket where it could be heard but not seen again. The relative downstream reportedly saw the same figure.
