Account
On day five of a two-week fantasy live-event, the guest and a staff member walked toward a river around 1 a.m. They heard a snap and saw a tall hairy biped walking parallel, which stopped, stared, then entered the woods. Both screamed and ran back, and staff found a large footprint in grass the next morning.
