Account
The witness was walking slowly through dry woods when they noticed movement about 75 yards downslope. They saw a dark brown/black animal moving on two legs, which they first thought might be a bear. The animal walked briskly and fluidly through the woods for about 15-20 seconds, turning away from a meadow and heading downslope through the trees.
