Two men shocked to see hairy figure close on trail in Monongahela National Forest
Account
Three men encountered two large hairy figures at night on a mountain trail. Two of the men observed one figure at close range, about nine feet away, shining a flashlight on its face, noting yellow eyes and a dragging right leg. The close figure left the trail, crossed a meadow into heavy brush and was not followed, while the second figure was seen moving in the opposite direction.
