Account

The witness was walking down a wooded hillside toward a spring on the family property when a large ape-like figure was seen standing across the creek staring toward the witness. The witness backed uphill and left without approaching to look for traces and told no one at the time. The sighting is recalled as a warm Fall afternoon in the early 1960s.
