Four of the group then saw a large black bipedal figure in a field in front of the cabin that turned and went back into the woods. The group then heard more walking, howls and breaking branches around the cabin and later found a footprint.

At the marina a worker said a news crew had previously covered a Bigfoot report at the lake, which led the witness to consider that explanation.
