Hunter briefly observes a stationary upright animal before it runs away
Account
About 30 years ago the witness was hunting elk alone along a high ridge in daylight. He watched a dark upright shape behind a lone pine for a couple minutes, looked away to check for elk, then glimpsed brown legs to the waist running bipedally and silently across a clearing. He ran to get a wider view but saw and heard nothing further and could not explain the sighting as a known animal.
