Hikers paralelled on trail
Account
The witness and companions were hiking a familiar trail at night when they heard heavy breathing and large strides approaching in the distance. After confirming all companions were present, they ran while the footsteps and breathing seemed to get closer, cross their trail from left to right, and follow them until they reached the end. They did not see anything and concluded the step timing and ease of movement in dense forest in low visibility indicated something very large.
