Account
Workers crossed a knoll at 6:30 a.m. to resume timber work and saw an upright creature covered in dark-brownish hair standing sideways about 100 yards away among felled timber. The creature appeared to be looking around before it noticed the workers, then walked very quickly off into the timber.
