Hikers find footprints and see 10 foot tall creature outside home
Account
The witness and a companion found very large footprints and broken branches while hiking and felt watched and followed back to the companion's house. The next morning the witness, sleeping on a couch by large front windows, saw a very tall brown human-like hairy creature in the clearing outside. After watching for several minutes, the creature approached, climbed a bank, and struck the house wall hard enough to wake the companion.
