Afternoon sighting by hiker outside Dunsmuir
Account
The witness was sitting on a hillside above a creek outside Dunsmuir in the afternoon. From about 300 yards away he watched a tall, dark, hairy figure squatting at the creek grabbing fish for several minutes. When the witness moved to get binoculars, the figure stood and ran on two legs with large leaps out of view. The witness did not go down to the site because the slope was too steep.
