LOCATION:Saskatchewan, Canada
                XXXXX lake

TERRAIN: Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I was on the water in a boat headed for the shore lunch area. I saw this large black creature on the shore.  I yelled to the other two people in my boat to look at the area that I saw the creature.  By the time that I got their attention - the creature was gone. My best recollection is that is was loping along and I had a side view of this creature.

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  I had been fishing on the lake and was on my way back to the shore for lunch.

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:  Large black creature.

OTHER NOTES:

 OTHER SIGHTINGS IN THIS AREA?:   None, that I know of.

Follow up: I spoke to the witness and he  gave me the phone # of the Lodge and I will call and see if any of the guides have had any sightings.  The witness saw the creature at  about 300 yards walking along a sandy beach.  There were 8 men in 4 boats along with 4 guides and they met for lunch everyday they were out.  He thought at first it was on of his party already on the shore for lunch, but when they got closer and the guide didn't turn into the shore there, he realized it was not a man.  He kicks himself to this day for not offering one of the guides money to take him to that shoreline to check for footprints.
