Dark figure observed thru binoculars during an afternoon on Baker Lake near Swift Creek

14 June 2014 early afternoon Concrete, Whatcom County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was sitting on a picnic table overlooking the lake and scanning the far treeline with binoculars while a relative photographed nearby. She noticed what looked like a dark head and upper body peeking from beside a tree across the lake, watched it for several minutes, then found it gone after looking away and back. She mentioned it to the relative, who searched with a camera lens but saw nothing.
