Class B First-hand BFRO #16540

Possible stalking of hikers on Prospect Mt. near Lake George

BFRO YEAR: 1980-82 dusk, approx 2 hours after sunset Lake George, Warren County, New York 2 witnesses

Account

A couple hiking down a mountain road at dusk heard a large unseen presence moving through the woods beside the road. The sounds matched their movements, stopping when they stopped, and continued alongside them for an hour or more as they descended. They spoke loudly to try to scare it away and judged from the loud crunching steps that it was very large and not a deer.
