Account

The guest says he and his little brother were left waiting at Burbank's Lake near dark after ferrying others across. They heard loud tree breaks closing in on three sides with the lake behind them. He repeatedly threw kerosene on a small fire for light but saw nothing, then they backed to the water and left by boat.
