The video from the car video recorder and the mobile phone was sent to the editorial office of Belomorkanal by an eyewitness. As it happens after such cases, the Severodvince is very alarmed. Indeed, why do wild animals come to the city and its surroundings throughout the winter season: bears, wolves, foxes, and, more recently, a lynx? Now a very rare representative of the fauna, which is considered to be either an invention, or a legend, has also declared itself? What's happening?
The exact day of shooting is unknown, the date displayed on the recorder is incorrect. All we could find out from the author of the video was last week.
The driver was heading from Severodvinsk to Kurtyaevo, according to him - to take a walk, therefore he was in no hurry. And the road to Onega, even in a well-groomed winter state, is not a "road" to drive. In general, when I drove up to the bridge over Solza, it was already getting dark. Further details are in the video.
Where, even at dusk, you can see a large brown figure with a light shade, easily climbing the steep, snow-covered slope of the left bank of the river. Just as easily and quickly, after a human shout and a ringing tone to the phone, the creature standing on the edge of the forest headed away from the road, across the virgin snow into the forest, down the Solza.

For obvious reasons, the then walk of Severodvinsk ended on this. Somehow I didn't want, according to him, to walk through the Kurtyaevsky forest in the thickened darkness. But it was difficult to take the wheel too. After standing for some time at the bridge in the emergency gang, I returned home. And he did not tell anyone - he was afraid that they would be laughed at. And in general he was afraid, although he considers himself not a timid man. Therefore, he still does not want to name himself.
The incident could have had other witnesses. Traffic on the Onega road is lively even in the evening, and there is a dacha village not far from the indicated place. Considering that the village of Solza with a railway station is located downstream of the Solza (where the "forest man" moved), we assume that the number of chance encounters (and there are no others in such circumstances) could have been large.
