Account

The witness was walking in woods behind a resort with a relative when she saw a hair-covered biped walking away through the trees toward a more forested area. She described it as auburn and shaggy with broad shoulders, long arms with hands near the knees, and an oval head with a peak. She watched in disbelief without following it and noted the woods were unusually quiet.
