ATV'ers have daylight sighting near Hematite
Account
Two brothers riding an ATV on their wooded property in winter saw a large dark creature moving through pine trees about 75 yards away. The witness described it as at least 6 to 7 feet tall, stocky, with dark brown medium-length hair, but could not discern facial features. Frightened, they fled back to the house without returning to check for tracks.
