Account

The witness and a companion were walking in woods overlooking a river when the witness noticed a large hair-covered figure out of the corner of his eye. The figure was seen standing in tall grass from about 15 yards away, showing the upper body with wide massive shoulders and a dark face. It left the area quickly and silently without a trace.
