Account
The witness was walking down a main path and saw a creature standing at a fork in front of a small creek. Both saw each other at about the same time, and the creature moved behind a nearby bush and squatted down. The witness started forward then ran from fear, and the creature also fled, bending trees as it went on a calm day.
