Account
Two witnesses who were squirrel hunting in woods near a work camp encountered a small dark hairy human-like creature perched on a low branch a few feet away. The creature watched them without moving its head, shifting only its gaze, then jumped down and ran away bipedally. The witnesses reported the encounter to the writer shortly afterward and showed the tree, but the hard dry ground showed no tracks.
