Daytime sightings by Forest Service employee near Arroyo Seco
Account
The witness stopped to rest during an early-morning fitness run near a lake area when he heard movement on a shaded, brush-covered hillside. About 20 feet away he saw a roughly 8-foot-tall upright figure that turned its upper body to stare at him before walking quickly uphill and out of sight. Shade prevented him from seeing facial details. He returned to the station convinced the figure was not human.
