Man-like figure seen running along a tree-line off Hwy. 12 near Checkerboard
Account
The witness was driving back toward the cabin in the early afternoon when he spotted a dark figure moving along a distant tree line. He watched for about ten seconds as the two-legged figure with very long arms jogged toward the mountains without appearing alarmed. He concluded it was not a bear, moose, or ordinary person.
