Account
The witness drove to a hunting area near Trout Lake before dawn during bow season. After exiting the vehicle in suddenly calm conditions, the witness heard steps growing louder followed by a loud repeated groaning sound. The witness froze and then left the area in the truck, later being told by another person it might have been a Bigfoot.
