LOCATION:  Canada, Ontario

TERRAIN:      Wooded

OBSERVED:   We were camping in a local provincial park with a few friends back 15 or so years ago when I was a teen. We saw a large "monkey" like creature sitting at the bank of a river from about 100 ft or so. At first we thought it was a black bear but it stood up and we realized it had to be over 7ft tall, with a thick grey fur. It noticed us, looked at us for a few seconds and briskly jogged away down the river bank. We herded back to the car, then decided to go back a half hour later. About 50 ft from the river bank where we saw this creature we saw a large 'plate shaped' turd beside a tree. It looked full of apple seeds and looked fairly fresh.

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  Looking for firewood

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:  Large black/grey fur,  tall with a hunched back
