Account

The witness settled into a treestand before dawn to deer hunt. After hearing wood-on-wood knocks and then bipedal footsteps approaching along the ridge top, the witness watched a large dark hair-covered figure at sunrise for about 15 seconds before it covered the distance in three strides into dense vegetation.
