Account

On a sunny morning in late spring 2004, the witness looked out a bedroom window and saw a tall brown-haired biped striding past within a few feet of the house. She watched it for several seconds before retreating to the bathroom, and when she looked again it was gone. She said she tried to explain it as a bear but remained certain it walked on two legs.
