Account

The witness was riding a bicycle on trails behind the house on a summer day. After hearing stomping noises and then a loud deep vocalization, the witness stopped and saw a large hairy figure about 20 feet away hitting a tree. After brief eye contact, the figure stepped into the woods and disappeared, and the witness rode home quickly.
