Two security guards see a creature outside of Gold Hill
Account
While conducting security rounds in daylight, the witness and a coworker watched across a ravine where children were playing by a creek. They observed a very tall, hair-covered, man-shaped figure moving quickly uphill, pausing on the crest to look back before going out of view. They later drove to the spot and compared its height to an 11-foot tree.
