A family observes a small group of bigfoots swim across White Lake.
Account
When she was about seven, the witness saw five hairy, unclothed figures at the edge of a lake from a hill. She fetched her parents and younger brother, and the four of them together watched the five figures swim across to oak woods on the north side of the lake. The family never saw them again and kept the account secret for decades.
