Account
The witness was camping at a small private campground when he heard something crashing toward camp. He shone a flashlight and saw a black, bear-headed creature about 5-foot-9 tall with kangaroo-like arms and an odd posture. After a few seconds it dropped low and scuttled rapidly into the woods, leaving him uneasy.
