Campers at Suttle Lake see three creatures at night near cabin
Account
During a late-night stay on a fishing trip, the witness and two companions observed three hair-covered bipedal figures near a cabin and parked vehicles. One tall figure stood at the treeline rocking and bobbing while two smaller figures crouched behind a truck watching them. After a vehicle was started and moved, the figures fled into the woods, with one later seen running across a road on two legs. The group then heard movement and breaking brush toward the lake and later noticed broken vegetation and possible tracks and hair.
