Account
The witness was photographing a metal building construction site when they heard unusually loud, heavy footsteps that sounded bipedal and unlike deer. The sounds lasted several seconds, paused, then continued, seeming to move away from very close by, with branches breaking. The witness reported feeling ground vibration and strong fear for safety and did not search or collect anything.
