Account
The witness was taking a morning walk on the paved road in front of the house when a creature covered in green vegetation crossed the road at a small bridge over a creek. The creature moved with an ape-like lope, looked toward the witness, then crawled down the bridge embankment into the shallow creek and disappeared. The witness ran to the creek but found no trace.
