Man recalls adversarial encounter with an unknown creature near French Gulch

During midnight rounds at an isolated school compound, the witness crossed a suspension bridge and heard something raiding trash cans by the cookhouse. He threw rocks toward a large dark figure under the eaves, which stood erect, stepped onto the bridge, dodged thrown rocks, vaulted the bridge cables and fled upstream on two legs. He noted glowing eyes and a foul stench, then returned to his trailer without anyone else responding.

Lady has two Northern California sightings, over a 20year period

While trolling for bass from a boat on a warm summer day with a companion and a dog, the witness watched a huge dark-haired biped walk to the water's edge and pull up what looked like a stick fish trap. The creature inspected the apparently empty trap, placed it back, then climbed a very steep slope effortlessly without looking toward the boat. The companion did not see the creature while the dog barked and howled throughout the several-minute observation from about 50 yards away.
