Account

A couple on vacation stopped at a clearing near a deserted campground to look around. They found unusually large droppings, noticed the woods had gone quiet, and felt watched before leaving. Afterward the companion said she had briefly seen a reddish-brown bipedal figure across the meadow retreating into the forest.
