Daytime Sighting by Caver West of Lake Monroe
The witness was waiting above ground while two companions explored a pit, sitting reading in a jeep in a grassy clearing.

The figure paused and stared for about 10 seconds, appearing as a 6-7 foot tall biped covered in long dark brown fur/hair, before walking away into the trees.
