Eastern Sierra Nevada

how do I explain things like this:

My friend who is a California Fish and Game Warden says that he saw a large upright "man" walking on a snowfield a few thousand feet above a desolate lake on the Eastern side of the Sierra. He was on the lake in a small boat, and he saw it. He said that it was walking paralell to the mountain just above treeline, and gaining altitude slowly. He broke out his binoculars and said that it was dark and looked hairy. He said that it was covering ground at a rapid pace, although watching it move, it was not running. And it never stopped to catch its breath. He watched it until it vanished over a saddle. Total time elapsed, about fifteen minutes.

This guy is credible. And I would never tell him to his face that he is crazy. And I doubt any of you would either. The point is, I think none of us know for sure, and that is something we all think about when in the woods...not a day camp beside you fifth wheel, but the deep, dark wooly woods. I have never honed the ability to absolutely know when I am being watched, my father has, when he looks at you from across a campfire and says that "Something is watching us," it sends a chill down your spine, and leaves you reaching for the .44.

Saying that, I guess that is part of the lure of wilderness areas. At least it is for me.
