Mountains
OBSERVED:
Riding my 3 wheeler I came around a corner and started smelling an odor
that I felt was like a wet dog/ Garbage mix. I stopped and looked downward
on the left side of the road. I noticed movement about 30 feet away. It
was not a deer, Bear or anything like that. I am well aware of what the
usual animals around here look like. It was very large and moved in a motion
like a person only larger and it's arms were longer than ours. It was black/Very
dark brown. and used the trees to conceal itself as well as it could. It
stopped and sort of leaned forward around a fallen tree/tree root ball
and peeked to see me. I sat on my three wheeler and locked eyes with it.
It was very still at this point and we both froze and just looked into
each others eyes. It slowly moved back out of sight and I could hear cracking
of the fallen brush/branches. After it moved back behind the tree/ rootball
it must have moved down the ravine. I moved forward on my 3 wheeler and
could no longer see it. I went and told my Dad and of course I was told
to knock off the lying. I am not lying and will never forget what I saw
or smelled. I have smelled that same smell numerous times in the area but
have never seen it again, even though when I smell that smell I stop and
look around or even sit still hoping to see it again.
