Daylight sighting by two hikers at trailhead for Hideout Hollow in Buffalo National River

The witness and a companion arrived at a forest trailhead around noon to hike to a waterfall. After hearing an odd sniffing sound at the car, they started down the trail and saw a large brown hair-covered biped running through the woods with its arms up and dark hairless hands. As they retreated quickly to the car, something moved fast over their heads through the branches, frightening them enough to leave the area.
