Daylight sighting by fisherman at Silverwood Lake near Hesperia
Account
The witness was fishing with family at a lake in the afternoon and walked to check a second rod. He heard leaves crunching about 30 feet to his left and saw a hairy ape-like creature with light brown hair running with long swinging arms while crouched forward. His daughter was behind him and shouted about a big animal, and they returned to the rest of the family.
