Memory told of a close encounter with a man-ape outside Gainesville

A child jogging on a dirt road in the evening to a friend's home encountered a large hairy figure that stepped out of roadside woods about 30 feet away. Both the witness and the figure stopped and stared at each other for a few seconds before the figure tilted its head. The witness then ran to the friend's home; the figure made no sound and did not follow.
