Account
The witness was bow hunting alone between two trails at dusk when footsteps approached from behind. A large black figure came into view about 75 feet away and faced the witness for about a minute while swaying side to side. The witness did not shoot, the figure turned and walked away the way it came, and no tracks were found the next day due to leaf cover.
