Villager Observes a Large, Bipedal Animal in the Kincolith River
Account
The witness was fishing on the river in the late afternoon when he noticed a figure about 150 yards away in shallow water. The figure ignored his whistles, shouts, and arm-waving, splashed in place for about an hour, then stood and walked out of the water on two legs away from the village. The witness, who reports seeing grizzly bears regularly, stated he was certain it was not a bear.
