A Vernal, Utah resident describes a strange sighting of a very tall creature that resembled a bipedal black bear or a possible Sasquatch. He believes that it may have been a supernatural being.
I received the following account:
"I live near Vernal, Utah, and back in the spring of 2019, I had seen a couple strange creatures in the span of a few weeks to a month tops. I want to make this post mainly about the one that confuses me the most. It confuses me because I can't really find anything online that resembles this thing.
So I live up in some foothills below a mountain. Just to get an idea I don't live in a developed city and we are for the most part surrounded by wilderness. I see deer just about every day.
So, like I said, I had seen a couple strange creatures. At this time I only had seen one. Since that time I have been very observant. It was probably about 8:30 pm maybe 15 minutes until the sun would go down. I was scanning all the rocks, trees, and bushes with binoculars. I focused in over a fence of a house and that's when I saw this thing. There is a series of trees behind this fence, which almost gives the appearance of a forest. I stared through my binoculars and saw what I can only describe as an almost-black-looking bear. When I first looked at it I could only see half of its face and one side of its shoulders. I could not make out exactly what I was looking at so I just continued to stare at it through the binoculars. After staring for what was about 1 minute, I noticed it started to come forward.
The reason I say "came forward" is because it didn't appear as if it was walking. Its upper body did not make the movements that a walking human would make. It came forward, and at this point, I could see its entire face and big muscular shoulders on each side of its body. It was staring directly at me and I feel it came forward so I could get a better look at it. Its chest and down I could not see, because a white fence was covering that area. although I could see the face I could not make out exactly what I was looking at. From the eyes down it looked so strange. I saw what was like a circular lighter-colored shape for a mouth and a smaller black dot for a nose, and that's about when it turned its head. when it turned its head, I realized that it resembled the head of a bear. The only difference between this thing's head and a black bear's head is that it had a stubby or short snout. I also noticed that it had ears that looked exactly like bear ears. If I had to guess the height, I would say around 7 feet tall and very wide (2-3 feet?). Basically how most would describe the size of a Sasquatch.
People would probably say this was a bear, but like I somewhat stated, it had the posture of a human with human-like (but on steroids) shoulders. It stared directly at me as I stared at it. I wasn't exactly scared because it was light out and I knew there was no way this thing would hop the fence and reveal itself to the rest of the homes. Soon after getting a good look, I went inside feeling a little uneasy.
I don't quite think this thing is flesh and blood because I don't see how it would get into someone's backyard, especially during the daytime. Also, when it came forward to be in front of the tree, that was hiding half of its upper body, it didn't make walking movements in the upper body (at least not noticeable)." M
