According to the man's story, on this occasion he had parked his truck at the head of Spring Creek Canyon Trail and had hiked into the woods so that he could set up his equipment.

Things took a rather unusual turn, however, when he became overwhelmed with the uneasy feeling of being watched and could hear strange sounds coming from the direction of a creek nearby.

Upon packing up with the intention of returning to his vehicle, he shone his light in the direction of the creek and caught sight of a strange, humanoid-shaped silhouette which disappeared after a brief moment.

He didn't think much of it at the time, but things would get a lot worse on his next trip.

On February 19th, he returned again, only this time he quickly found himself being followed by someone or something that was shadowing his movements.At one point, while walking along the trail, he heard a loud knock against a tree nearby, followed by the sound of something slowly but surely moving through the foliage next to him as he walked along.

Then, after scanning the immediate vicinity with his spotlight, his beam caught the face of a large creature.

He described it as resembling the face of "King Kong" from the most recent movie, but with a nose that was "sharper" and "not as flared". Its skin was grey with wispy light-grey hair and it had a pronounced brow ridge like an ape, with a "non-human" jaw that was "roundish" and "blocky".

He estimated that the creature stood around 7ft tall and it was extremely muscular.

The entire encounter lasted mere seconds, with the creature quickly retreating back into the darkness.

Terrified, the man managed to make it back to his truck without further incident.

Exactly what it was he encountered that night, however, remains a total mystery.
