Account

While riding in the back seat during a family drive through Phantom Canyon, the witness saw a large dark furry biped among cows beside the road. The creature, seen from behind, walked briskly with wide arm swings and long steps toward a treed rocky area. The driver turned back to look again minutes later, but the figure was gone.
