π Description
It was our annual summer camping trip and I was in the back of the car with my uncle. My grandmother and grandfather were in the front and my grandma and uncle were sleeping. I was staring out the side window and slightly forward. While looking I saw a large animal that I thought was a bear. It was only a very brief view but the animal was walking upright and was very furry. I mentioned to my grandfather that I saw a "huge bear" walking upright but he laughed and said it must have been trying to climb a tree. But there was a break in the trees where I saw the creature. It looked like it was going off of the side of the road into the forest.I cannot be sure what it was. But, it was so very odd that it certainly looked like it was "walking" on two legs. It was dark so I couldn't distinguish any other features.
π Circumstances
No although I mentioned it to my grandfather right after it happened (he was in the car with me.)
