Creature observed coming up over a ridge.
In June 1996 the witness was alone minding a soup pot at a vision-quest camp on Bear Butte when she looked toward a ridge about 100 yards away and saw a figure come over the top. Startled, she looked down and then back, feeling a rush, goosebumps, and a tug on her T-shirt as the figure apparently left very quickly and unseen. She announced she was going to her tent and later heard from elders that such sightings around the camp were considered common and good luck.
