Account

After dinner on Christmas 1993, the witness drove with two young relatives and encountered a six-foot creature illuminated by headlights while it pulled apart a rotting log. The creature stared angrily at the onlookers for about 15 seconds before walking away forcefully, climbing a hillside bench and disappearing into the trees. The group drove straight home, where the witness told the youths it had been a bear despite thinking otherwise.
