Account
The witness returned to a creek bridge with a sibling and the sibling's friend to retrieve items left after an earlier scare. While standing on the bridge, the witness looked about 200 feet down the creek and saw a very large hairy animal walking on two legs along the creek. The witness first joked that it was a person in a gorilla suit and only heard about Bigfoot several years later.
