A woman sitting on a bench in a park sees a large hairy creature behind a four foot wall staring at her
Account
The witness drove to a seldom-crowded park with falls midday and sat on a picnic table. After about a minute, the witness turned and saw a furry figure about six feet away, visible from the waist up above a drop-off. Frozen in fear, the witness could not warn a passing group, then ran to the nearby car and has not returned to the park.
