Account

The witness and a companion stopped near a gorge opening to mount a trail camera after hearing branches breaking on a nearby ridge. The companion viewed a reddish, lean creature with broad shoulders and a cone-shaped head partially obscured behind a pine tree through binoculars. After the companion looked away for about five seconds, the creature was gone.
