Three men camped near the gate to the State Game Lands heard strange noises and in a flashlight beam saw the legs of a bipedal creature with 6-inch, glistening, black hair. One man tried to take a flash picture and the creature ran uphill to a plateau and stood there screaming. It sounded as if another answered and ran down hill to join the first. The witnesses got in their truck and saw one tall, bipedal figure cross in front of them by the campfire. About an hour later they leftr.
