Class B First-hand BFRO #52031

Family reports strange ongoing activity near Greenville

2014–2016 Mason/Greenville NH, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire 1 witness

Account

While driving on a road that follows a river on a hot day, the witness noticed a large cinnamon-colored animal standing on all fours in the shallow water at a distance. He could not see its head because of distance and overhanging branches. He first thought it was a bear but noted the fur looked unusually long and shaggy, obscuring where legs met body. He did not stop for a closer look and judged it at least as large as local bears he had seen.
