Account

The witness was hiking alone in the morning about four miles from home when she entered a sunny grassy clearing. She watched a large ape-like animal leap from the woods, grab a long snake from the ground, and quickly disappear back into the trees. She immediately ran from the area and did not tell anyone about the encounter for several years.
