Account
The witness was hiking alone on a remote trail when he heard branches cracking, heavy breathing and grunting, and smelled rotting meat and wet hair. About ten yards away a tall creature took a wide step across the trail, paused to look at him for a second, then continued into thick trees off the trail.
