Account
Two people hiking observed a very large black-haired upright figure step partly from the tree line about 25 to 30 feet away. It stood for several seconds, made a deep grunt-like noise and musky odor was noted, then stepped back as heavy footsteps receded. No photo was taken and the witnesses were shaken.
