Account
Brad Trent was driving on the west side of Norrish Creek canyon about 4 p.m. on a bright spring day when he saw in a clearing across the canyon about 100 yards away an erect creature walking away from him out of the clearing. Underbrush about three feet high hid the lower part. Was dull black, impression was of coarse hair about four inches long. Head set low on broad shoulders. Crossed clearing very quickly in three or four strides and disappeared in heavy timber. (No size estimate recorded, but had to be large if he could count strides in three-foot brush)
