Account

The witness and a companion were hiking in woods near the witness's home when the companion hurt an ankle and sat to rest. The witness walked about 50 feet ahead and encountered a huge, tall, hairy creature kneeling. The creature chased the witness, and both individuals fled out of the woods. When they looked back, it was gone.
