Account

After fishing, the witness and companions were walking back when a companion went back for forgotten bait and reported a creature. Three of the group then went to look along the creek and saw a large white hairy bipedal figure come from behind a tree. The figure looked at them, leapt across a wide creek, and ran out of sight.
