A sighting of a gray shape in the bush near the waters edge, large footprints found afterwards
Account
Two people in separate boats traveling along the shore of a remote lake reported seeing a gray shape that frightened them. The account was covered in a local newspaper in early July 1997 and was later summarized by an investigator who noted the witnesses were reluctant to speak with the press. Polaroid photographs are reported to have been seen by local residents, but the report provides no further descriptive detail.
