Account
The witness returned alone the next day to revisit an abandoned campsite found with companions the day before. While walking toward the tree line he noticed movement about 200 yards ahead and then saw a reddish-brown hair-covered man-like figure stooped over with its hands on its knees, staring at him. He ran home and reported difficulty sleeping in the house afterward.
