Bigfoot sighted near creek by spear fishermen.

Account

Two companions were warming by a fire after spear fishing along a creek on a moonlit snowy night around 1 a.m. They watched a figure emerge from the creek, move toward the woods and back to the bank, kneel as if tearing and eating something, then stand upright, look at them, and walk away up the creek. They judged it was not a bear because it walked like a human and not a person because it carried no lantern or spear.
