Account
The witness was hiking with a companion and two dogs in the morning when a large brown shape was seen moving quickly through dense understory. The dogs chased it for a few minutes and came back frightened, with one running all the way back to shelter. The witness reported a strong musty odor, unusual height and quietness of the object, and a securely tied tarp on one dog returning loosened to one knot.
