OBSERVED:    It was a sunny day and i was at a friends on a friday night, we were hanging out playing football and biking through the
woods. We had just gotten out of school and we decided to go for a bike ride through the woods. We started riding about 4:30. We were messing around just hanging out when we smelled the most foul smell ever. I had never experienced a smell like that. We had heard large banging earlier, like a giant stick hitting a log, but we thought nothing of it.
After about 2 minutes of the smell we heard the crackling and braking of sticks, this was very loud for any animal. We were standing
on a path that was a straight- away from where we were. We kept hearing the loud crackle. My only thought was that it was a bear, but to our amazement we saw a giant hairy creature walk along the path about 50 yards in front of us.  It was about 8 ft tall with dark brown hair, his hands reached past his knees, and it had the deepest slouch i had ever seen, it also had red hair at the knees.
