Account
The witness and a relative paddled a rowboat across a lake toward a fishing trail. As they neared the far shoreline after birds flushed, the witness saw a dark-haired, man-like animal running away while looking back at them. The witness panicked, screamed, and paddled rapidly back to camp without seeing the animal again.
