Account
A hiker slipped on a steep slope and suffered a compound leg fracture, then lost consciousness. After regaining consciousness, he reported two large, very hairy figures standing over him and jabbering to each other. He lost consciousness again and later awoke near a relative, who reported that two ape-like figures had carried him out of the woods, after which he was taken to a hospital.
