The witness and a companion were hiking back from Irely Lake in dim evening light when they heard a loud sustained roar-growl from about 100 yards away in the forest. The sound was unlike any bear or mountain lion they knew and never repeated, prompting them to hurry back to their car. The pair later expressed certainty that the vocalization was a sasquatch.

He described the animal as over seven feet tall, heavily built, with long muscular arms and no visible neck.

The figure was reported to have turned and left into denser woods without aggression or sound.
