Events Observed:
We were at the lake. My Dad owned a cabin there. We were the only two out there at the time and were expecting company that day. We had CB contact that day with Lynn Lake and they said our company was coming out. About halfway to the landing I heard twigs snapping and looked over to my left. Whatever it was, it was squatting and digging in the ground. It then stood up and looked at me. It was about 30 feet away, with a clear line of sight. It waved or shoved me away with it's arm, like an old man, then in 3 strides, it was gone. It was on two legs. I ran back to camp and said there was something weird out there. He (my Dad) said you know, they're out there.
The creature was like "Patti"; like her, but not like her. It was skinny and not shaggy. It had short hair and was not sleek, but smooth (hair). I am 5 foot 5" and it was quite a bit taller than me. I guessed between 6 foor 6" to 7 feet tall. I noticed no neck and it's head was pointed. It wasn't dark in colour, but a medium brown to a reddish colour (like a cocoa brown). It had a big rear end which wasn't close to the ground.
Our company, who was there, went back to town. Two men came out to the site the next day. I know they did not know my Dad. They asked me what I saw and had a look around. They had no equipment, like cameras. I then left and have not heard anything from this since.
