Account
The witness was horseback riding near the Green River and stopped at a clearing overlooking a recent clearcut across the river. A large brownish-grey figure watched from partway up the hillside, then walked uphill with long effortless strides over logs while swinging its arms. The witness observed it for about two minutes until it entered the treeline.
