Account
The witness and a relative were relaxing in a hot tub when they heard rustling and branches cracking to the east. They then saw a huge figure that appeared to be putting blackberries in its mouth while watching them. After briefly chewing, the figure turned and walked away without running. The pair noticed a rotten smell in the area and later looked for a dead animal to explain it without success.
