Account

The witness reports that during the summer of 1977 something repeatedly came around the family home north of Dark Lake, disturbing a horse, splashing at the lake edge, and prompting nighttime pursuit with gunfire. Multiple family members, guests and neighbors reportedly heard sounds and caught glimpses over the summer, including a daylight sighting of a large reddish creature eating raspberries.
