Early morning sighting near Scott City Diversion Canal
Account
When the witness was a child, he accompanied his grandfather to unlock gates and check boats at a remote fishing spot early one summer morning. After getting out of the truck, they saw a tall hair-covered figure standing on the far side of the lake near the dam about fifty yards away looking at them. The grandfather told the boy not to worry and turned him toward the boats, and when the boy looked again the figure was gone.
