Account
A 13-year-old witness fishing alone along a riverbank heard heavy thumping footsteps and heavy breathing from dense woods behind him and felt watched. After waiting motionless against a tree for about 20 minutes, he briefly saw a tall shaggy dark brown-black animal moving away at an angle about 35-40 feet away. The animal was in view only a few seconds before disappearing into thick woods.
