Account
Walking home alone at night, the witness felt fear and heard footsteps from the woods matching his own steps and stopping when he stopped. After he paused to listen, something took two steps closer off the trail and he perceived a clear mental image of a Sasquatch-like male. He fled running back to his friends, who then drove down to look.
