Sprinbrook, Gold Coast of Ghana

While cutting timber, a man heard what he thought were the sounds of a pig. He searched the woods near where he thought the sounds were coming from when, "... Something made me look up and there about 12 feet in front of me, was this big black hairy man-thing. It looked more like a gorilla than anything. It had huge hands, and one of them was wrapped around a sapling. It had a flat black shiny face, with two big yellow eyes and a hole for a mouth. It just stared at me, and I stared back. I was so numb I couldn't even raise the axe I had in my hand."
