Account

The witness was loading gear at camp before daylight with his father when he noticed movement on the hillside above the upper campsite. Through naked eye and binoculars he watched a very tall, jet-black, upright figure travel toward the lakes, stepping efficiently over brush and trees. As the sun rose higher the figure should have become more visible but instead had completely disappeared.
