Ape-like creature sighted near camp
Account
A relative of the reporter claims that around 1985 while staying in a small camp in Acton, Maine, he heard a loud sound and looked outside. He saw a brownish creature standing upright like a human walk past the windows to the side of the camp while grunting and breathing heavily, with audible footsteps. He maintains the creature was ape-like and not a bear.
