near Hwy 30 - Graceful creature ran by man when he was 15
Account
The witness was sitting alone on a stump while deer hunting when a large human-looking figure ran past about 50 feet away from right to left through heavy brush. The witness initially mistook the figure for a companion, noting its quiet, graceful and powerful running and a hood-like appearance. Shortly after, the companion appeared on foot from the same direction, noisy and much smaller relative to the brush, making the witness realize the first figure was much larger.
