Account
The witness was camping with a companion and another person. After unsettling sounds and a parked motorcycle being knocked over twice, the companion confronted whoever was responsible near a downed log on a steep hillside. A huge black-furred creature rose up, towered over the companion, then turned and fled uphill, snapping trees and shaking the ground with its steps.
