Possible sighting by off-road bikers near Buck Lake
Account
Two youths riding a dirt bike back toward a farm noticed a tall dark figure walking upright on a rural road. When they stopped near a turn, the figure crouched briefly and then scrambled into the roadside ditch and dense bush. The pair fled to the farm and armed themselves without discussing the sighting at the time.
