We both saw this at the same time.It was making a bee line towards us.It scared the hell out of us and we ran as fast as we could trying to bike up the hill but it was faster running in the end, until we got nearer the top.There was no way it was a bear.It was clearly running like a man and the head was small like a man, with dark eye sockets .It was moving fast as it was a steep grade it was coming down.Whether it was running from something or at something, i dont know.

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Kevin Withers:

The witness who submitted this report is now a truck driver in his middle thirties. At the time of this sighting, he and his friend were around twelve years old. They were on an abandoned mining road coming up from Deer Creek when "everything went cold and silent" right before their sighting.

For three or four seconds they had an unobstructed view of a bipedal creature, approximately 100 to 150 feet away, running down the side of the canyon. While the witness didn't get a good look at the face, he did see that the creature was seven to eight feet tall, covered with dark brown hair, and had big shoulders and no neck. There were leaves stuck in its hair from the small trees it smashed through as it ran.

After frantically pedaling and pushing their bikes uphill for about a quarter mile, they stopped and looked behind them. At that point they could no longer see or hear the creature.
