Account
Don Hunter and his wife (deceased) were in their car shetering from rain beside Todd Lake when they saw a giant, erect brown biped, very thin, standing in the middle of a meadow on the North end of the East shore of the lake. They got out of the car to get a better look and it then walked off to the trees with giant strides.
