Creature seen walking away at a fast pace.

1990 late afternoon or evening Lassen County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness claimed to see a tall brownish figure about 100 yards away in a clearing while returning to a hunting camp. The figure was moving away quickly while looking back over its shoulder, with long arms swinging. The witness did not go back that night and a next-morning search with camp companions found no tracks because the ground was rocky.
