Account
The witness stayed up late with two companions at a remote camp near Indian Valley Reservoir under a full moon. They heard an unfamiliar loud scream and saw a large figure silhouetted on the hill by a tree with arms raised. A dog ran toward it, the witness fired a shotgun into the air, and it left. No tracks were found the next morning.
