Two brothers see and verbally confront upright, walking, hairy creature
Account
Two brothers on an early morning run outside town saw an upright, fully hairy creature cross the road onto a gravel road. After one shouted, the creature turned to face them in a brief standoff of about 45 seconds, then walked away around a bend. Minutes later they found large barefoot tracks in light snow and noted a slight lingering odor.
