Account
The witness was waiting alone on a camp trail after a companion left to retrieve an item. A large hairy figure appeared about 50 feet away by a tree, made eye contact for a few seconds, then stepped behind the tree and ran away out of sight while making heavy footsteps and branch-breaking sounds. The witness then ran back toward camp and met the returning companion.
