Bill Winnig and a friend had camped for several days on a sandbar at the head of Forbush Lake in the Puntledge Valley. As they were leaving Bill looked back and saw an animal walk on two legs out onto the sandbar, squat, stand again and walk back into the forest. It was dark, had no neck, and seemed to be checking the bar where they had camped.
