Account
A relative was hiking alone at night with a headlamp toward a campsite. Around a bend in the trail the relative saw two large bright eyes in the trail at about eight feet high, with no body outline visible. The relative froze briefly and then ran back to a truck and drove home, reporting extreme fear.
