Animal Description: Just past a lake about 1/4 mile, we saw something climb up from the bank of the brook as we passed by in our car. It was about 5 ft. tall and completely covered in mud & leaves… so we really couldn’t tell if it was hairy, but the arms were too long to be a person. It walked hunched over a bit and the hands were just below the knees. It turned is head, looked at us and kept walking up over the bank and into the woods. I’m not very familiar with bigfoot (of course I have heard of them), but don’t know if they play in the mud nor am I familiar with their habits. Animal walked bi-pedal; hunched over a bit and the hands fell just below the knees.
Aprox. Height: aprox 5 feet
We had driven to the end of a dirt road in Thurman and turned around to come back… it’s a dead end road. Somehow we ended up driving over a mountain with a brook that follows along side the road and driving slow because its an old dirt road and secluded. After getting home and checking a map, I believe we were on [location omitted]. At the top of this mountain is a large lake.
