Account

Two companions were fishing from a boat close to shore late at night. They heard heavy two-legged footsteps coming down a wooded hillside and then rushing toward them as they prepared to leave. The unseen source entered the water behind them while emitting a loud snarl and growl neither companion recognized. They left without seeing the source and did not return to investigate.
