Account
The witness was having a late lunch with two companions near Lava Canyon after hiking when she noticed a large [name withheld]-covered bipedal figure emerge from trees and shake a nearby tree. All three watched it for a few minutes, noting its massive size, broad shoulders and long arms and that it stayed upright. The woods became unusually quiet, and the figure was gone by the time they walked toward its location.
