Account
The witness and a companion were putting up a tent after dark when both noticed a strong unusual odor. The witness walked toward the wind with a weak flashlight and saw yellowish eyes and a tall dark outline with wide shoulders about 30-40 feet away. The figure reacted to the light, then turned and left silently. The witness listened for hours afterward but heard nothing further.
