Two witnesses have a daylight encounter in their camp near Spring Valley
Account
The witness and a relative were camping on their property when the relative spotted a hairy man-like figure near the campsite. The witness then saw the upper half of the figure as it stood and walked away toward dense trees and a ravine, later finding large five-toed footprints in a creek bed. Later that day the witness heard a high-pitched scream while alone on a dirt bike, and that night something large reportedly ran past the tent while a neighbor's dog chased it.
