Two young men have a sighting while spelunking near Huntsville.
Account
Two companions searching for a cave rested in a pasture near a wooded ridge around midday. They heard something large moving in the woods behind them and then saw a tall hair-covered being partly obscured behind a tree a short distance away. The figure disappeared quietly without a clear departure sound, leaving them frightened, and they left the area quickly.
