Account
Two companions were hunting in the late afternoon when they noticed a huge man-like figure on a hill. The figure moved very fast down toward them with its arms swinging, stopped at the bottom and looked left and right. The witness viewed it through a rifle scope, then it ran back up the hill faster than a normal man could.
