Account
While hiking alone near Panther Meadows to look for mountain water, the witness saw an old man with a cane moving unusually fast uphill. She followed briefly but turned back when she felt unready to go further, briefly lost her bearings, and was guided down by the sound of his cane. The man disappeared near the parking area, and she later understood the figure as the legendary Man of the Mountain.
