A couple named Isaac and Marcy, along with their yellow lab Jesse, reserved a remote day cabin near Lynx Lake within the Nancy Lake State Recreation Area between Big Lake and Willow. While hiking an un-frozen shoreline trail during the autumn season, a sudden, absolute silence dropped over the forest canopy, prompting Isaac to prudently turn the party back out of bear caution. Approaching within 100 feet of the cabin structure, the dog's hackles raised and it charged ahead blindly around the corner, met by heavy physical crashing sounds of a massive presence thrashing away into the brush line. Isaac armed himself with a .454 Casull revolver from his vehicle. At twilight, the lab returned to the porch hobbling with an injured hind leg, exhibiting extreme terror by pacing the cabin and barking wildly at the window panes while refusing treats.
Spotting a faint glimmer of high-altitude eye-shine roughly 40 yards out in the treeline, Isaac stepped onto the side clearing to investigate, watching the glowing eyes actively shift to evade his flashlight beam. Later that evening, while Isaac stepped outside by his vehicle to smoke a cigarette, an organic 'huff' or vocalized throat-clear mirrored his position from the same high tree stand. Attempting to deploy bear pepper-spray into the alder thicket to establish a chemical perimeter, a gust of wind blew the spray back into his face. As he coughed, an immense, deep vocal mimicry of his exact hack-cough boomed from the darkness. Rushing inside, the couple attempted to sleep on a couch when a rhythmic, blunt 'thump-thump' tapping pattern began vibrating directly against their window pane.
Isaac looked out to spot a massive form moving in the shadows. Dressing quickly to check their rig, he lifted his flashlight beam to the roof line of his car's canoe rack, revealing a giant, pitch-black 10-foot humanoid standing erect right behind the vehicle chassis. The entity stared down with deep dark sockets and a flat broad nose before turning to execute a heavy, bipedal march back into the timber channel.
