Father/son observe "hairy thing" and chase it
Account
The witness and the father were collecting wood for a fire when they heard a loud noise behind them. They turned and saw a large, somewhat hairy figure standing nearby, which then turned and fled. They chased it but lost it across a creek, where they later noticed broken tree limbs with hair on them.
