Close daylight sighting by a fisherman near White Sulphur Springs

The witness was fishing alone from a creek bank when he noticed a persistent decay-like odor. He then saw a reddish-brown female-appearing figure squatting across the creek near a beaver dam, apparently washing something in the water. After watching briefly, he stood and shouted, at which point the figure stood, made a short vocal sound, and left quickly. He returned to camp frightened and stayed there.

Fly Fisherman sees a hairy bipedal creature while trout fishing

The witness was fly-fishing at night along the river below Hauser Dam and walked back to his lamp on a boulder to retie a fly.

Afterward he noticed two of his four pooled trout were missing and heard a boulder crash downstream, then left with the remaining fish.
