Near Green Lake 12 year old boy sees dark form drinking from lake, walks into trees
Account
The witness, then 12, was camping with his scout troop at Green Lakes in the Three Sisters Wilderness. After leaving his tent in the middle of the night to urinate, he saw a large dark figure crouched at the lake shore about 125 to 150 yards away under moonlight. The figure then ran on two feet while slightly bent over into the treeline. He hid in his tent until morning and the next day found flattened grass where the figure had been.
