Account
Two people entering the woods to deer hunt at daybreak encountered a large creature about 150 feet ahead. The creature stood up, paced, shook a large bush, and screamed at them, causing both to flee in panic. They returned in full daylight hours later, estimated its height at about 8 feet from the bush, and found no prints or hair.
