Night fishermen recall possible encounters near Dillon State Park
Account
Two companions were fishing from an anchored boat at dusk near a cattail-lined bank where they had previously found prints. One pointed out a tall, black, large-built figure standing above the 6- to 7-foot cattails downriver. The figure stood briefly, then stepped back and walked away into the woods through a channel, and the witnesses chose not to follow.
