Paranormal encounter (1970)
Account
While camped for months in the desert under the Superstition Mountains, the witness's family saw a tan figure standing on its hind legs on a hill like a human yet animal-like. The father chased, shot, skinned and cooked it, after which the witness became violently ill and the father changed behavior. Hours later a sudden monsoon with no warning destroyed their camp.
