OBSERVED:    I was tagging along with my father while he was deer hunting at the time of this sighting i was 11 years of age.  We had been walking for about 4 hours so we decided to rest on a small stream of water bellow this trench. We were sitting down on the rocks by the stream that's when we notice this huge bush with surrounding trees moving from side to side like if a tornado were to hit it but at the time there was no wind that could have moved those bushes so rapidly and so strong i asked my father what could that be that is doing that?  My father reply "I DON'T KNOW, " then it came back like as if someone or something was trying to scare us away.  At the time i was carrying a 22 long rifle and my father a 30.06.  My father said to me shoot a couple of rounds to see what it is,  because before we yelled a few times but no response so i shot 3 rounds nothing so i shot another 3 rounds about 10 seconds before those 3 round were shot we seen this huge man like creature come out the bushes looked at us and we looked at it strange by its features, i asked my father "what is it" because "it does not look like a bear" my father replied i know, then i told my father shoot at it my father could not reply if like he was hypnotized by this thing he just grab my hand and said run and don't look back. Once we got to the camp were the other hunters were i told my father if he was going to tell the others what we have just seen or tell the forest rangers he said no don't say anything because people will just make fun of you and me and they wont believe us anyways.  I have spoke to my father about that incident that occurred many years ago, now im 30 years of age my father does not want to even remember or talk about it he says it was something that we should of never laid eyes on.
