Follow-up investigation report:


I have spoken to the witness about this encounter. The event was described as occurring in the early morning while he was on his way to work; he rides a bicycle to work. It is one of several recent events in the area that may be related to sasquatch activity.

Apparently the animal seemed to be stalking the witness as he rode his bicycle. He could hear much noise just inside the woodline and loud grunting noises.
