Teen sees fresh track, creature while fishing
Account
While fishing alone upstream from camp, the witness noticed a large fresh-looking footprint in a gravel bar and compared it to a fly rod, finding the print longer. Across the stream the witness observed an indistinct standing figure near a large tree and bushes that backed away with a swaying motion, paused, then walked into the forest while movement was heard over about five minutes. The witness crossed the stream to look again, waited by a tree feeling not alone, then left to report the experience to companions at camp.
