Please describe your encounter: My companion, Liz, and I were sitting on her porch smoking cigarettes and talking. There are dense woods behind her house and about 20 years of lawn between the porch and the woods and the porch light was on and cast a fair amount of light onto the lawn. We could easily see the treeline but not past the first line of trees. Shortly after we sat down we were startled by the loud crack of a limb or branch. We thought it odd but wrote it off to the natural falling of a limb. After that, because we were then aware of the sounds from the trees, noticed some rustling and the sound of someone moving around. I yelled "hey, watcha doing back there" thinking that it was kids trying to spy on us. it continued and then we heard another limb break further back in the woods (not as loud as the first). I grabbed a flashlight and walked back to the woods with the intention of looking like a tough guy and yelling at whoever was back there. When I reached the woods I stood at the treeline and shined the flashlight in and yelled "hey." it was then that I saw walking away about 40 ft in front of me what I thought was a small bear (4-5 ft tall) walking on two legs. I got really excited and shouted "HEY" to try to get it to turn around but it didn't. I freaked out and ran back to Liz and we went inside because I wasn't enough of a tough guy to keep smoking cigs outside.
Describe
the creature with detail: Looked like a small bear. About 4-5 ft tall
and walked on two legs. It was covered with hair and had a thick body. I couldnt
see much else bc it was dark.
Follow-Up:
Witness stated, 'Hair was either black or brown and looked shaggy but I couldn't
determine length. It looked like it covered the entire body. No sounds. The
only sounds we heard were the breaking of the branches and some rustling that
sounded like footsteps. As far as the head and body go: it just looked like
a bear or a short stocky person standing up and walking. The stride made it
look like it was hobbling a bit. As it was walking away all I could see was
the shaggy hair, not really any visible shape to the head. No smell. No footprints
that I could find but I didn't look real hard. There are a bunch of leaves back
there which is why we could hear it walking/rustling around. It was definitely
weird tho. Good luck with the research. I'll be keeping my eyes peels towards
those woods.'
