Five member family camping see a hairy upright animal
Account
Shortly after dinner the witness watched from a campfire as an upright hairy animal appeared on a ridgeline about 120 yards away. After other family members were called over, the animal looked toward them, moved uphill with very long strides, violently shook a small fir tree with one hand, then went over the ridge and out of sight. The whole sighting lasted 30 to 40 seconds, and a later search of the area found no tracks.
