Man recounts sighting from his teens near Edinburg
Account
Two companions were fishing at a mostly frozen pond in winter when a large hair-covered bipedal figure stood up on the far shoreline. The figure walked up a steep hill, turned at the top to look back at them, then left. The witnesses watched for about one to two minutes and then left as well.
