Account
Working outside on repair to his aunt's house, Craig Two Hearts saw a big hairy creature emerge from trees near the Grand River, with swinging arms and a hunched back. He ran to tell Slim Herman, who was working inside, but when they came back out is was not in sight. A short time later Two Hearts saw the creature re-enter the trees, but again by the time Herman got there it was gone.
