Dusk sighting on shoreline of Lake George at Deer Leap
Account
Two companions were canoeing parallel to the shoreline at sunset when they noticed a thin upright figure watching them from shore. The figure stared intently, then climbed slowly up a dead pine tree and tucked its head, appearing to blend into the branch like a lump of bark. The witnesses observed from offshore without approaching.
