TERRAIN:
Wooded
OBSERVED: I was carp fishing and got to my spot on the river at 6 am. I set up my gear threw my corn and dough balls in front of me and waited for the carp.. Now when your carp fishing you have to be very quiet.. So I was sitting on my beach chair low to the ground and tucked into the reeds, when I got this foul odor and noticed it was unlike anything I ever smelled before. Well about 20 sec. later I saw two deer jump into the river from the opposite side and to my amazement a large ape man creature was chasing them. When it hit the water I remember it wasn't that deep only maybe a foot or so, the deer were running very very fast and this thing was right on top of them, snorting and grunting as it tried to catch them. I recall being very frightened and hoped that it did not see me, and lucky for me the deer ran off to the north i'd say about 70 to 80 yards upstream from me and the creature was in hot pursuit of them... So it never noticed me... Till this day I can't believe that I actually saw this beast and I will admit I am a Big time skeptic, Well not so much anymore. I went back a week later and had to leave almost as soon as I got there because I felt like someone was watching me and I haven't been back since, maybe i'll try this spring but i'm bringing someone with me that's for sure.
Additional
things: I noticed that the creature had
an almost human looking face but it was about 70 to 80 yards away and I
only saw its face for about 3 to 4 seconds then I just got the rear view
of it which I must say was built like a massive fur covered muscular mass
the likes of which i've never seen before. The fur was blackish Reddish
brown if that makes any sense, and the odor was strong it smelled like
a wet dog and a skunk with a rotten meat odor all rolled into one.
Activities
of Witness: Just sitting very
quietly tucked into the reeds about 5 to 6 feet away from the riverbank...
Description
of Creature: I would say it was
at least 6 1/2 feet tall, Very powerfully built, there was no neck that
i noticed it looked like his head sat right on top of his shoulders, the
fur was blackish reddish brown in color, and it was making a grunting noise
as it chased the deer upstream away from me.
