OBSERVED:
My girlfriend and i had an experience in 2007,july 27-29th we were marauded
by something huge that we went to look for saw nothing,an hour later large
object i.e rock was thrown into water made enormous splash, there were
2 people that came in late saturday night across the lake and they shined
a large light on the lake and we were shuffling for ours we saw no ripples,they
said "what the hell was that?" to which i replied nothing my 12 gauge can't
handle,we were marauded 4or 5 times that night what ever it was shook the
ground under us in our tent,we made 2 trips back since then, we found tracks
15"long we got pictures from 2007 and there are some odditys there appears
to be several,things in the pics at later review, one was an animal across
the lake that was very large and wide,walking upright, in the backround
of my trying to get pics of loons i got it in 3 pics upon this trip tried
to locate same tree the animal had to be close to 9-10ft tall and 3-4ft
wide judging by the dia of the tree, we will return in july this year.

Info: On may 14th we
went back and came across 2 ladies from oneanta, they had a dog and bear
spray,i was photographing some pecuiluar tracks that didn't make sense,
the one girl showed me picture that she took on their walk in it was a
human looking track with 3 dicernable toes,with room for 2 more due to
the width there was water in the tracks,it had rained earlier that day,on
and off allday,the tracks i photoed, were in a very odd spot, in the mud
that there was no reason to walk in and had slipped on a slight grade,
that you could acess dry 5 ft away,we saw more tracks deep in the ground,hard
ground,15"long and wider than my boots, mish has been selling shoes 25+years
and knows tread and break patterns for all types of boots/shoes .none were
present the tracks were high in the middle,and deep at heel toe.
Activities
of Witness: In 2007
we were camping for the 1st time on this lake and canoed in,via west branch
of the river,we were the only ones there and went to every camp sight looking
for wood, 1st night uneventful 2nd night,chopping wood using a log to drive
carpenters ax through, sounded like wood knocks i later realized after
research,there was a couple that came in late 2nd night i saw them with
binoculars and saw them all eve this was not them, they were backlit by
their fire and had on head lights,and were just as freaked as us, also
felt very unnerved,and angst in am on sunday wanted to get outta there
in a hurry we checked for downed trees, saw none there was a large open
spot in the lilly pads that wasn't there the day before as we fished the
edges of the lake
Description
of Creature: We never thought of
it as a bf till we got cable in sept 2011 and saw a show on tv that they
did an expidetion in pine lake just down the road, the animalin my photos
is enormous taller than any human and twice as wide the photos were taken
in series and show several anomalies that were not present in the pics
i took the day before,they are hiding in the trees and peeking out
Other
Notes: We never thought
this animal to be in this section of wilderness there is no possibility
of hoax because,we would have seen lights or heard a person as they aproached
us I also said,i will shoot you man or beast every time this thing came
into our campsite,any rational human would not have pressed his luck 4-5
times, any animal would have hitailed it when i worked the action of my
shotgun and it never went after our precooked food,or our other waste and
dry goods hanging 15 feet off the ground,it walked on 2 feet,and was gone
quicker than i could get out of the tent
Other
(Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes:
There have been sightings by a state troopers son and dec officers son
they were together and saw a large hairy bipedial animal that grunted at
them,they saw it in the highbeams,around caroga lake, also we saw several
high tree breaks and several trees bent over in a line on the lower trail
that goes through the camp sights,I personaly have had multiple experiences
within8-30 miles from this spot over the last 20 years,but never reported
them most were with witnesses,one was on the powley road, one this past
fall was on mason lake logging road,massive tracks and 2 vocilizations,
multiple vocilizations on powley road,by the little goldmine creek,noone
takes you seriously,until they are there with you and need an unexpected
change of skivies
