Account
The witness hiked up a mountain to visit an abandoned mine and encountered a large hair-covered biped at close range. The creature approached to within about twenty feet, foraged on leaves, then noticed the witness and retreated while vocalizing. The witness considered shooting it for science but refrained, then examined droppings and a bedding site before describing the encounter as a lasting mystery.
