Account
The witness was fishing before dawn at Upper Blue Lake and watched a black figure across the lake for about 45 minutes. The figure appeared to mimic fishing with a stick, lay on its belly in cold weather, then moved across a large boulder in a smooth crab-walk on its back. When a distant boat motor started, the figure disappeared into the brush.
