Account

The witness and companion had parked by a lake while driving to find a fishing spot. From across the lake they watched two hairy figures walking upright toward thick brush. The witness briefly returned to the car for optics, but both figures had entered the brush by the time of return. No tracks or other signs were later recovered.
