Account

On an August evening while rock hounding in Sunshine Valley, the witness, seated in a truck with a companion, saw a hairy bipedal figure about 200 yards ahead cross the road in a few unhurried steps without looking toward them. The figure was described as muscular yet slender with long arms and dark to reddish-brown hair. The forest had gone quiet beforehand, the witness was stunned and unable to speak, then left the area.
