Father and son encounter an ape-like creature near a stream
Account
The witness and the witness's young son walked downstream toward a stream to fish, with their dog ahead. They encountered a large hairy figure crouched over an animal carcass about 30-35 yards away, noticed a foul odor, and watched it stand upright. The figure screamed several times as they retreated to the car and was still standing near the water when last seen from a ridge.
