Account
The witness hiked off the main trail into a wilderness area and stopped to eat lunch. A tall, bushy-haired figure appeared, watched the witness eat while looking at the food and licking its lips, and held an object like a rock before running away. As the witness left, branches broke, a foul odor returned, and a rock was thrown at them.
