Bill Johnston and his girlfriend Stella Donohue set up a tent at the lake for the night after they flattened the wheel. They were woken up at about 02: 00 by a squeal. 

Donohue unzipped the tent and went outside to see the huge creature towering over the water. It had a tiny head, too small for its body. Its fur shone bright silver in the moonlight, and it looked right at him. 

She called bill, and he ran out with a flashlight. At this time, the creature was rushing towards them. They grabbed their keys, ran to the car, and drove away. They reported the incident to the police. 

A local taxi driver reported that two boats were missing on the lake, and the wreckage was never found.
