Fisherman hears heavy breathing ,turns and sees tall man-like creature
Account
The witness was standing fishing in knee-deep river water while a companion fished downstream. Hearing heavy breathing behind, the witness turned and saw a tall, athletic, hair-covered male-like creature standing by a tree on the bank about 100-150 feet away. The two stared at each other for several minutes, and as the witness moved sideways downstream the creature moved between trees keeping watch, until the witness reached the companion; when they returned the creature was gone and no prints were found in dry sandy soil.
