Large hairy figure observed at Willow Reservoir.
Account
The witness was fishing from a boat in a small cove with a relative during daytime. After hearing rustling in the woods, the witness observed a tall hairy figure in profile moving very quickly on two legs with its arms swaying. The relative did not see the figure. The witness initially considered a bear but rejected that idea because the figure lacked bear-like ears and a snout.
