While hiking with my family at Letchworth state park, we kept hearing noises coming from the
surrounding woods off from trail #2. After 15 minutes or so of walking with caution we came to a turn in the trail and looked towards the end of the continuing trail. I saw a huge silhoutte move and stop at the end of the continuing trail. It was dark brown in color. I inmediately told the girls to keep the kids together and move faster towards the turn in the trail without telling them what I have seen. We were in the middle of the woods with 3 kids and two babies, the last thing I wanted at this point was to get everybody scare. As we walked away from the path I proceeded to take a picture of the trail and I belive there is something clearly seeing in the picture once you maximize or amplify the view. I’ll send you the picture and you tell me. I believe there was something following us close and observing my family as we walk deeper into the woods and my wife confirms the sounds of breaking branches we heard as well.
