Hunters witness a large, dark, manlike creature pull a stump from the ground.
Account
Two hunters walking toward a river heard a splash and saw a dark, muscular, hairy creature with its back to them. The creature pulled a cypress stump from the mud, threw it into the river, then turned to look at them and walked briskly away along the riverbank. The men then found large human-like footprints at the spot where it had stood.
