Vocalizations and tense sighting reported by couple hiking and camping near Trout Lake

On a hot midday in 2004, the witness was walking alone on an overgrown forest road while cave hunting with her husband nearby in dense brush. After hearing gravel move behind her, she saw a huge cinnamon-colored hairy human-like figure cross a ditch in one or two fast quiet steps and stop motionless behind trees, leaving only a massive shoulder and long muscular arm visible. Frozen with fear, she slowly backed away about 100 yards before shouting for her husband, who arrived after the figure had vanished.
