Account
A witness driving slowly with his son reported seeing a human-like figure in the woods. They followed on foot to a creek where they watched a single creature from about 50 yards away for about ten minutes as it gathered and ate leaves before walking away. They described its coloration, size, eyes, head shape and strong odor.
