Rennie, Whiteshell Prov. Park, Manitoba
Aug 1986
Account
Sam Genaske and another man went down to the beach at Meditation Lake, near Jessica Lake, and noticed an animal crouched by the water. One of them stepped on a stick and the animal stood up, 7 to 8 feet all, and came towards them. They fled back to their truck and as they left Sam saw the creature "crash out of the bush" in the light of their taillights.
