Account

The witness and a companion were at a swimming spot below a cabin getting ready to hike back uphill when they heard heavy bipedal footsteps approaching through dense brush. A large, muscular, dark-haired figure parted the vegetation about 40 yards away and looked at them, and they fled uphill while hearing sounds of pursuit for a short distance.
