Night fisherman intimidated by large rock thrown into water near Monkey Mountain

After he grunted jokingly in response, a large rock was thrown from that direction and splashed into the pond near him. He did not see what threw it and left the area immediately.

Memory told of possible vocalizations and rocks thrown at Lake Kinkaid

In 1978 two people were fishing from a boat on a lake at dusk and stopped in a cove. They heard grunting and saw trees shaking violently on a brushy cliff, but saw no animal. Two large rocks were thrown from shore toward the boat, landing very close, prompting them to leave.

Close encounter while fishing remembered near Giant City State Park

The witness was fishing alone at a small wooded lake in the afternoon when brush breaking, snapping trees, and splashing rocks drew attention. The witness turned to see a large muscular creature standing nearby that emitted a loud high-pitched scream. The witness froze, the creature quickly retreated into the woods, and the witness fled down the trail to the vehicle.
