Account

The witness and a friend were in the woods near a creek bottom when the friend sensed being watched. The witness saw a figure about 25 yards away that was squatting, then stood seven to eight feet tall, covered in very dark brown hair except the face, and walked upright. It followed them to the edge of the wood line with a long stride and swinging arms while making whistling noises.
