Account

During a family hike, the witness reported first feeling watched on a trail, then later seeing a very tall hair-covered figure from behind near a cliff edge in dense brush. The figure stood up from the vegetation and walked quickly and smoothly out of sight. She described long brownish hair to the waist and said she did not believe it was human.
