in front of me was what I can only describe as what appeared to be a fully erect gorilla, except his face didn't protrude out,it was flatter,and the hair was the color of a squirrel, browns, black, silver & a slight tint of red when the sun reflected off him.He was standing there, head slightly tilted back, squinting his eyes,soaking up the sunshine, just as I was.I couldn't comprehend what I was looking at at first. My first thought was "what am I looking at?".. Second thought was" God,look how big he is". It was incredibly muscular, at least 4ft wide at shoulders, 7-8ft in height,massive animal. The skin was a dark grayish color around the face, head was extremely pointed, like a dunce hat almost, no neck,largemy life in those mountains walking feeder creeks,backpacking, fishing for brook trout.Thought I knew all there was to know.That day changed my life. Made me not only question my sanity & eye sight (I'm not crazy & have 20/20 vision), but my understanding of the natural world .Ive been back several times but haven't seen him. ALSO NOTICED: No smells,so sounds other than the drumming OTHER WITNESSES: No OTHER STORIES: Heard a few but never believed anyone TIME AND CONDITIONS: 12:13pm full sun ENVIRONMENT: Mountains, river Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator David Bakara: I spoke with the witness by phone and he was still affected by what he saw in November of 2014.
