Daylight sighting by father and son from a campsite north of Mogollon Rim
Account
The witness and his son were sitting at their forest campsite in the late afternoon before leaving. A very large, hairy bipedal figure crossed an opening in the trees beside them, swinging its arms and moving slowly but covering distance in few steps. They compared its size to the six-foot son and estimated it would stand at least seven and a half feet tall, then searched and found no other people or vehicles nearby.
