Large creature seen walking along the beach
Account
The witness was parked overnight in a motorhome and was watching the river for ships. A large creature was seen ambling along the beach at the water's edge, approaching from about a quarter mile away to about 20 feet in the motorhome's exterior light. The witness could not film because the camera battery was dead and the companion remained asleep. The creature disappeared around a bend, and tracks later seen on the beach were covered by the tide before they could be documented.
