6 May 2015 Between Helena And Great Falls (Edited Per Witness Request), Lewis And Clark County, Montana Class A #48616

Possible daylight sighting while driving on a rural road between Helena and Great Falls

The witness was driving on a private dirt road in the morning when he noticed a black two-legged figure about a quarter-mile away walking across a side road with an unusual sauntering, swinging gait. He stopped and backed up for a better view, but the figure was gone. Investigators later visited, measured the crossing, and recreated the figure from memory as much larger than a human, about 8'7" tall with very long arms and no visible clothing lines.

Boys observe hairy man-like creature several times

Two days after a distant sighting, the witness and companions were walking back toward the cabin across a field on a sunny day. About 50 yards away they saw a creature sitting on an old tree stump just inside the woods watching them. The witness said it turned by moving its whole upper torso as if it had no neck, then looked back before the group fled.

Boy Scouts watch creature eating leaves along Dearborn River

As a child attending a Scout Jamboree, the witness says a friend led him to a river where they watched a roughly 6-foot-tall gorilla-like animal across the water. The animal stood upright with its back to them, plucking leaves with its hands and eating for a couple minutes before walking into brush. They stayed in the area for several days afterward but never saw it again.

He shone the lamp on movement about 10 feet away and watched a large hairy biped move rapidly up the steep rocky bank and disappear within seconds. Afterward he noticed two of his four pooled trout were missing and heard a boulder crash downstream, then left with the remaining fish.
