Account
The witness was cutting firewood in the morning when they heard heavy movement in nearby brush. A large upright creature about 50 yards away looked at them with yellowish eyes and exhaled loudly through its nostrils. The frightened witness threw a stick at it and fled without looking back, hearing what sounded like the creature running away as well.
