Account

Three people were glassing for deer when they noticed a large dark animal about 75 yards away in the woods. The animal stood on two legs and moved away through a hollow with swinging arms, described as having a flat face and long brown-black hair. The witnesses were startled and tried to track it, but found no prints due to ground cover.
