Account
The witness was squirrel hunting in thick woods when they walked by an animal about ten feet away without noticing it. The animal then ran off bipedally with a striding gait while making a monkey-like screaming sound. The witness first thought it was a bear but concluded a bear could not run on two feet and called it bigfoot.
