Hunter tells of his daylight encounter while baiting bear outside Lewiston
Account
The witness was walking back to his truck after dumping bear bait when a tall dark creature crossed the two-track road in one step. He approached the crossing point and saw a gorilla-like face peering from behind a cedar tree about 30 feet away. After watching briefly, the creature turned and disappeared silently into the woods, leaving the witness with a strong feeling of dread.
