Camper describes morning sighting at Cascade Lake near Lake Placid

6 August 2010 about 8-8:30 am Keene, Essex County, New York 1 witness

Account

The witness was camping at Upper Cascade Lake and walked to the shore to photograph mist on the water. Across the lake he noticed an animal splashing that stood upright, stepped toward the treeline, turned to stare at him, then disappeared into the forest. Startled, he returned to his campsite, loaded his gear, and drove away without seeing it again.
