Account
Mitch was driving on a dirt road near Bouquet Reservoir when he saw "possibly four" hairy creatures "walking casually" into the thicket. He stopped his car thinking he had driven onto a movie set, but quickly realized there was no one around. The creatures walked single file. All were cinammon brown, one guessed about 8 feet, the others about 7 feet. About 200 feet away.
