Account
Tyrone Harvey and his brother, fishing at Lost Lake, went ashore at the West end of the lake and encountered a 7-foot creature covered with matted black hair scratching its back against a tree. When it saw them it paid no heed and went on scratching, elbows out. Face like a man, with a huge beard merging into its other hair. They retreated.
