Account
On fishing trip with husband, camped at south end of Hidden Lake, near Enderby, was picking up firewood by the lake when she felt she was being watched, looked up and saw a big, hair-covered biped. She backed away. Said nothing to her husband at first, but couldn't face night in tent, so told him and they left.
