Account
The witness was prospecting for gold and had stopped a car on a dirt road to let the engine cool. In very thick brush on a steep slope, something charged and then stopped out of sight about 35 feet away, moving around for three to four minutes. The witness retrieved a gun from the trunk and spoke toward the brush, after which nothing further happened.
