Shaken, she returned toward two fishermen and then left across the dam, photographing a large print in the mud. From the car area she heard the same loud vocalization coming from across the lake where she had been and saw the fishermen hurrying across the dam, after which all parties left.

The witness and a companion walked down an old logging road in the early afternoon the day after hearing a knock in the same area.

When they looked again moments later it was gone, and feeling uneasy they returned to the truck and left.
