Returning at midnight on a dirt road to a camp at Mineral Lake, informant heard rustling in the brush and smelled a bad odour as he was crossing railroad tracks. He stood still, and than a 7-8 foot, dark creature stepped into the middle of the tracks, noticed him, stood still briefly, then stepped rapidly across the tracks.
