Two fishermen encounter an unknown biped along a creek
Account
Two people approaching a bend in a creek to fish saw a creature in the water first thought to be a bear. The animal stood upright, watched them for a short time, then walked to the treeline while continuing to watch them before disappearing into the trees in large steps. The witnesses then left the area and moved their camp.
