Encounter::<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Number of Witnesses: 2
\nLength of Observation: aproximately 4-5 minutes
\nAnimal Description: It definitely was not a bear because there are no bears found in this part of the
\nstate. I have seen some large bears, but this was larger than any bear that I have seen.It had a umped over type of posture and was covered with hair with the exception of it’s hands and face which we could see pretty well once the headlights were shined on it. Once we had the headlights on it, it held it’s hands up like the lights might have bothered it’s eyes, before it jumped over the side of the small bridge.
\nAprox. Height: 6-7 feet with a humped over type of posture
\nAprox. Weight: 3-4 hundred pounds, but this is an stimate because we were approximately 50-60 feet away.
\nHead\/Facial Description: It had a large head (larger than a person) but it was dark and though we
\ncould see some of it’s face we could not see it clearly. We did notice that at a certain position and for a split second we could see the reflection of it’s eyes, much like you would see eye reflection of a dog or cat.
\nCan Witness Provide a Sketch of Animal Seen?: No
\nAny Odor? If so, Description: No, we were not close enough to get any type of scent from it.
\nWood Knocks Heard?: No
\nWe were out drinking and sort of partying in an area that we often frequented. We came to the bridge that has bove been mentioned and as we approched, we noticed something moving in front of us. As we turned onto the bridge and our headlights shone toward the bridge, we saw it. It stood around 6-7 feet tall and was covered with hair. It seemed to turn and look at us but it did not look very long at all. It turned toward the right side of the bridge and just leaped up and over the side of the bridge like it was nothing. It stood on two legs but had sort of a humped over posture but seemed to be very agile and strong enough to make the leap over the side of the bridge. We did not see it again that night, but we did see it again at another time about two weeks later. We just assumed that the creek under the bridge is what has attracted it to that area. I had mentiones that we were out drinking, but in no way were we intozicated to the point that we both imagined what we saw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
