Account
The witness was bowfishing from a boat when he noticed an upright, hair-covered entity standing on the bank about thirty yards away. When the entity turned toward him it gave a loud high-pitched scream, then walked away into the woods while the witness watched and slapped the water with a paddle. The witness described the walk as stooped with bent knees and swinging arms.
