Hikers have feeling of being watched and then hear something break through the ice nearby

29 March 1989 night Ronald, Kittitas County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were hiking back through snow after dark along a road cut near [name withheld] Lake, with the witness waiting ahead while the companion lagged behind. The witness heard two loud footfalls breaking through ice and water in the shadows to his right, which stopped abruptly. The companion then emerged from a different direction saying he thought the witness had stepped into ice and that something had been walking beside him unseen, and both concluded something large was present before hurrying out.
