Account
The witness was night fishing alone at a riverside campsite when the woods went silent. He heard loud splashing crossing the shallow rocky water, then rustling in brush. A very tall dark hairy figure stepped out, watched the campfire, glanced at the witness several times, then walked up the access road, looked back, and left over the railroad tracks into the hill.
