Account
The witness and a friend were driving a truck on remote logging roads late at night when both reportedly saw a large brown furry figure jump vertically out of the truck's path during a turn. They stopped, got out briefly and shouted, then decided to return to camp. They later said the figure did not match a bear or deer to their knowledge and remained unexplained.
