Account

The witness was riding ahead of friends on 4-wheelers and stopped at the bottom of a hill to wait. He noticed a hair-covered bipedal animal about 150 feet away reaching into tree branches. When he went to alert his friends and returned, the creature walked upright over a hill crest and out of sight. His companions did not see it.
