Account
The witness and a companion were drifting in a canoe on a narrow tributary toward the main lake when they heard splashing and commotion on the bank. About forty to fifty feet away a hairy upright figure stood up, turned away, and moved smoothly into the thick trees. Both were frightened and agreed not to discuss it with the rest of the camping group.
