ATV riders descibe dusk encounter in the Monte Cristo Range

September 1999 turning to dusk Huntsville, Cache County, Utah 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative were riding an ATV back toward camp at dusk when alerted to a figure nearby. About 50 feet away, a large dark upright figure walked parallel to them along an old fence line before turning into the woods and disappearing. The pair left quickly for camp and spent a sleepless night after the brief sighting.
