Account
The witness was hiking with a child after becoming lost and stopped by a berry thicket along an old logging road to pick berries. The witness heard footsteps moving through thick brush behind the thicket, called out, and felt watched as the steps paused then resumed more slowly. An unseen source then produced a very loud deep growl rising toward a roar, prompting the witness to flee with the child.
