A railway worker was busy on some of the tracks when he looked up and saw a figure walking along the tracks, approximately seven to nine feet (2.1-2.7 m) tall. 

As the figure came closer, the worker said he saw "fangs" like large fangs sticking out of the figure's mouth. The creature was also very hairy. 

He reported two very strange things: first, the creature was walking in a rather peculiar way "from side to side", as if it was moving along a path. Second, he was carrying a large stick over his shoulder, which he used to hit the railroad worker. 

After beating the witness, he disappeared into the bushes. The witness was found to have bruises.
