Husband and wife looking at fall colors have daytime sighting in Spanish Fork Canyon area
Account
A couple stopped at a trailhead to view fall colors and felt uneasy while standing outside their vehicle. After getting into the vehicle, the wife watched a hairy human-shaped figure squatting on a flat for an extended time, while the husband briefly saw it run fast on a hunch into thick oaks. They left quickly, and the husband returned later that evening and found disturbed leaves and torn ground where it had gone.
