Account

While taking a disused trail as a shortcut between Scout camps, the witness and a companion heard crashing in dense forest. The witness saw two fur-covered bipedal creatures run across the path, jump a stream, and disappear. The pair fled to a road, got a ride back, and reported the sighting to a Scoutmaster who did not believe them.
