Witness Account:
Getting out of my boyfriend's car walking up the long walk to the building turned around to say see you later, and when I turn back there was this huge brownish figure about 8 ft to 9 ft tall leaning up against the building. Please note there was a huge tree in the yard where I worked, this thing frightened me so bad I didn't know where to go because it was nothing but wooded area to my left and maybe a couple of hundred feet in front of me there was a store. But I knew I wouldn't make it if this thing decided to chase me. I turned around to see if my boyfriend had left the area, screaming his name loudly and when I turn back the thing was gone. We had to use a card key to access the building I ran upstairs and I was telling my colleagues what I'd seen. Everyone ran to the window but we didn't see nothing. We didn't think to go downstairs to look and see the footprints in the snow but I remember some of my colleagues laughing at me. I know what I saw I will never forget that ever in my life thank you. If I'm not mistaken the number 76 bus went up that area and rye Brook New York a little city outside of rye New York. As you come down that creepy street because it's a lot of wooded area there's nothing out there but woods and businesses are far apart. This thing could easily came out of the wooded area in rye New York. It wasn't a bear bears don't stand up like that, this was like a real tall heavy heavy heavy heavy man with a lot of hair on him his arms hung down past his hips. I'll never forget that thing as long as I live again thank you.
Sounds:
Other than traffic which was very low that morning it was eerily quiet.
