First Person Report from Witness in SLC, UT

I just heard this from my girlfriend's sister, who lives in SLC, UT. K isn't into cryptids outside of the standard fare casual interest displayed by most people who aren't dead.

It took place last year, not too long after I moved out of the area, drats! My girlfriend H, upon hearing her sister say "I gotta tell you about this werwolf I saw." stopped her mid sentence and got out her phone to record for me, so I heard the story just as she first related it. H asked K to call the friend in the story, K said she hadn't spoken to him in 6 months, but she called. That was recorded and passed on to me also, it nicely corroborated and complimented K's telling. Interesting tale with some never before heard by me features as you'll see.  

K and a friend were sitting at the doorstep of K’s apt, a house in densely gridded blocks of suburbs W of SLC proper, it's one giant sprawl through the whole valley. It's night, there is a thin tree line between her and the neighbors house about 20' from the step. Behind the apt is a small grassy field/open lot before more fenced in houses. 1.5 miles to the W, as the crow flies are the mountains. K is sitting with her head down on her knees, her friend next to her, staring at his phone. she looks up to see a massive wolf-like creature whose head is about 1.5' above the trash bins it's at-- 2 of those square, wheeled affairs the haulers dish out to customers--which are about 4' high. It's ~18' in front and ~15' to her R and it's on all fours! Front legs she says are massive and more like arms, no paws, she described them as talons (her friend said, hands with claws.) Long grey hair, longer than a dog's and matted, matted tail too. "No animal I know of, nothing explains the structure of this thing" She said it had an ancient vibe, "it was old, this thing was OLD." Eyes with cataracts, "completely clouded over." Gigantic tumor on the side of its massive head and it was swaying, "You could tell there was something wrong with it," It walked as if drunk down the treeline in front of them. K was about to run inside but said it just seemed incoherent, as she moved to go, it did a growl of sorts. She said it looked right at them and she could see its eyes were fully glazed over, she assumed it sensed, not saw. It disappeared around the corner of the house into shadow, they did not pursue past where they lost it. "when it hit the darkness, it was gone but there was nowhere for it to go.” "It was quiet too.” Long snout, "so many more teeth, so yellow" She couldn't recall ears. But the guy did-- his story was the same as hers in most details (I heard them separately and the 2 hadn't spoke in 6 months) but he did remember ears, pointed and pivoting like dogs do when listening. She described it as a werwolf, he said: "had to have been something from out of this world" "like a werwolf but it was huge" "way bigger than a wolf, bigger than a bear" "It was definitely evil.” K didn't get the evil vibe, she got "intelligent and about to die." It's shape was more hyena-like, lower, smaller back end in relation to front. Back legs still much larger than a wolf's or big dog. K stated it was "one of the most life changing, weirdest things I've seen in my life" Speculated if it stood, which it didn't, it would reach near a basketball hoop.

Pretty cool to get these first person accounts from someone you know, can vouch for and with the added bonus of a co-witness.
