Withers Lake, near Paisley Tracks found near a lake by witnesses
Account
The reporter found a single set of tracks at the edge of a freshwater lake where underwater plants appeared to have been stripped. On a return visit about two weeks later in early October 1999, there were three sets of different-sized tracks at the same lake-edge location. The reporter photographed and videotaped the tracks, later found no further sign in November and December, and lost the tracks to weather before a cast could be made.
