Large black figure seen on a ridgeline near Hytop

The witness and a companion walked down an old logging road in the early afternoon the day after hearing a knock in the same area. The witness noticed a large dark figure standing partly behind a tree a couple hundred yards away, apparently watching them. When they looked again moments later it was gone, and feeling uneasy they returned to the truck and left.
