Sighting along trail in SE part of Francis Marion National Forest
Account
The witness was hiking alone on a narrow wooded trail searching for snakes. About 50 yards ahead, a brown human-shaped figure about person-sized or bigger leaped across the trail from left to right on two legs. The witness stopped to listen, then walked to the crossing point but saw nothing in the dense woods and heard no movement. The witness continued hiking while looking back and only later considered the sighting might be out of the ordinary.
