Account
The witness and a relative were fishing from a boat when they noticed a strong sulfur-like odor followed by splashing along the shoreline. Shining a flashlight toward shore, they saw a very tall dark shape with reflective eyes. The shape then produced a loud high-pitched whistle/growl, after which they left the area.
