Account
While fishing around a lake with a companion, the witness heard something heavy circling them in the timber and breaking small trees as it moved. The companion briefly saw a brown shape about 50 yards back in the timber. They left the area, saying it followed them about a quarter mile up the trail before disappearing, and noted no animal tracks or birds until reaching the top of the trail.
