A very tall figure in Rutherford County, North Carolina

what i witnessed happened a number of years ago. my brother in law and i were trout fishing in the broad river area of bat cave n.c. outside of asheville n.c. time of year spring time. about 9 10 or 11 in the morning. i was on a large rock in the middle of the river and had been there a number of minutes approx. 20 to 30. when something across the river caught my eye. i looked over and saw something standing on two feet looking at me .this thing was approx. 30 to 40 feet away at most. we looked at each other for approx. 5 to 10 seconds before it turned and proceeded to walk up the mountian at a 45 degree angle to the mountian after taking approx. 20 steps it was hidden from my view in a laurel thicket. i heard it in the thicket but never saw it again my brother in law was approx. 50 feet down river and saw the same thing. im not sure what we saw what i do know is that it was no bear what we saw was approx 6 to 8 feet tall approx 300lbs. and completely covered in hair it was not solid black it was more of a dark brownish grey in color. i dont know what i saw i dont think i have heard any other stories like this in the area. i would be more than happy to talk to any one in your org. about this even take you to about where this happened. again it occured a number of years ago.
