Possible sighting by motorist beside Highway 101 between Orick and Trinidad
Account
The witness was driving south on Highway 101 in the morning with her young child asleep in the car. After rounding a corner beside a lagoon, she noticed two figures in the water that she first mistook for fishermen. As she slowed and passed within about 40 feet, she described one as a tall, muscular, fur-covered figure walking toward shore while the second remained seated or stooped in the water, then she sped away frightened.
