Account

The witness was driving with his family at night along a lakeside road when he reported seeing a large dark-haired creature walking away from the shore into the water. He said the creature was visible from the knees up and was carrying a severed dog head by the hair in its left hand, with flesh hanging from the neck. His wife, who looked back, reported seeing only ripples in the water.
