Account
A party of five was fishing on the Cheyenne River south of Faith when they noticed a tall hairy bear-like creature watching them from across the river. As they hurried to gather their gear to leave, a boy in the group said it was waving at them. The creature was described as taller than the small cottonwood trees along the bank.
