Account
The witness and a companion were fishing and eating lunch by a creek when they noticed a large apelike figure upstream. The figure approached to about 15 yards while making grunting sounds, and the men knelt and offered fish, which it ate raw before walking away. A sour odor was noticed during the encounter.
