Account
As a child exploring woods beyond a permitted woodline on family property, the witness encountered a brown, hairy creature in a squatting position about 15 yards away. The creature stood to at least seven feet tall, showing a hair-covered back, broad shoulders, and long arms, but the witness fled in fear before it turned around. The surroundings were noted as completely quiet.
