An account in Lane County, Oregon

As I was coming down into the lake country as I call it. The wind was blowing from my left to my right. I picked up this bad smell, almost like something had died. I looked to my left and next to the trees 15 or 20 ft. away was this upright dark haired creature standing there looking at me. I said geese what the hell is that. Then this creature turned and went into the trees. To be honest I did not follow it. It scared the devil out of me. I have not returned. I'm not sure I want to.
