Account

The witness and a relative were walking home after skating when the witness noticed movement and a large brown shape in the bushes at a distance. Near a path fork, the witness found a very large human-like footprint in snow that appeared to lead toward where the shape had been seen. Frightened, the two ran home and never discussed the incident.
