Account
This may be a mix of two different reports, but all items entered do appear in at least one. Boys were cycling on a trail around the lake when an 8 to 9-foot creature crossed their path, coming from the lake, and kept going into the woods. Dark brown with a grey tinge, egg-shaped head, shaggy, skunk-like smell. Indifferent to the boys.
