The two men set up camp on the shore of a small lake and watched a large round pulsing ball of light hovering over the lake. Both men reacted unusually to the light and felt that their sense of fear had somehow changed or increased. 

Later, they went to the lake shore to fish and began to hear heavy footsteps from the nearby woods. They pointed their flashlights at the forest and illuminated a huge, hairy figure standing between two trees. The figure had huge, dangling arms below its knees. 

One witness fired six shots at the creature, which apparently hit him, but it crouched and hid behind a tree. The frightened men ran to their tent. A few moments later, they heard loud knocking sounds coming from each side of the tent. 

Both men then ran out, fired two shots and fled in their car.
