The witness was traveling on remote logging roads with two family members when they came around a corner and encountered a creature on a steep hillside. The creature first moved uphill away from them on all fours, then continued traversing the slope on two legs, using an arm for balance. The witness claimed familiarity with bears, stated this was not a bear, and described it as very human-like.
