Husband and wife see creature running on lakeshore at Prineville Resort Campground
Account
The witness and a companion were sitting at their campsite watching boats when they saw a dark figure moving bipedally around a rocky point across the lake. They watched it run across a sandy beach to the treeline in under 30 seconds from about 400 to 500 yards away. After later seeing other people on the beach appear much smaller, they concluded what they saw was Sasquatch.
