Witness Observation
After returning from a Midnight hike, we pulled the truck into our camp area. As my wife and a friend of our son (15 years old) exited the truck on the driver’s side (closest to the foot of the mountain we were camping at), something ran from our campsite and darted into the trees at the foot of the mountain. My son’s friend told my wife that it was probably the kids that had TP’d [“toilet papered”] us the night before when we were out on our midnight hike. However, they had left earlier that day. My wife and the boy then moved towards the mountain and heard something VERY large run (bipedal) and scale the mountain and run away from them. My wife immediately yelled my name (I had already exited the bed of the truck and started towards the camp). When I ran to the foot of the mountain and attempted to go up it (the boy had also started to climb) it was almost impossible. It was almost straight up, and the only way we could scale the mountain was by slowly pulling ourselves up by the limbs from the trees. My wife and the boy stated that whatever they saw was extremely fast and scaled the mountainside like it was nothing.
When I suggested to my wife that it could have possibly been a bobcat or coon, she stated no way. The figure was too big and it sounded like only two feet. (Man running)
Physical Evidence
As we hiked on the mountains the two nights we were there, we found MANY broken limbs at very high levels. 1-10 feet.
Sounds
Bipedal running up steep mountain.
Additional Observations
Dark figure.
Time and Conditions

Did you hear limb breaking ? what area were you in ?how remote was this place,any water sources ? what kind of game is native to the spot where you were, if It was bipedal movement was it heavy? did you look for prints?

What these peoples needed was them mountain men from West Virgina that hunt them big creatures. They’d sure find them fur ya! That Buck goes around 350-400 pounds but runs like the dickens, he’d catch um!
