California
2 witnesses
Account
The witness and a friend hiked into high meadows and noticed an unusually tall figure at a distance. At dusk on the way out they saw movement pacing in front of bushes and approached while calling out. Between two overlapping bushes they saw two upright hair-covered beings facing them in defensive postures. They backed away out of sight, then ran down the trail to their motorcycle and drove out.
