At least three people reported seeing a creature they believed could be Bigfoot last month in what officials are calling a "credible incident."

The three visited South Carolina's Hunting Island State Park on Aug. 3, according to a report.

A creature they thought was around 5 to 6 feet tall walked upright and fled into nearby woods, they said.

The creature fled so quickly that they were unable to capture it on camera, they added.

After the incident, the group filed a report with park staff and the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

The creature's legs were "approximately 3 feet long, human-like jointed knee, with dark brown, splotchy black hair that was approximately 2 inches long," the report reads.

“We were all in a state of amazement as to what occurred as it happened so quickly. We have enjoyed taking many vacations at the park throughout the years since we were children in the [1950s] to the present," it continues. "While the area is abundant in wildlife, we have never witnessed anything like this in the past."

An investigation into the incident will be initiated, the park superintendent said.
