Woman recalls her possible sighting while deer hunting near Elgin
Account
While waiting on stand during a rifle deer hunt, the witness watched a brown man-like figure walk upright into view and stop beside a lone pine tree, feeling it was looking at her. After a few seconds the figure dropped to all fours and left her view. Minutes later her brother appeared in the same spot, looking much smaller and dressed differently, convincing her the earlier figure was neither her brother nor a bear.
