Account
In mid-summer or early fall of 1978 or 1979, the witness and a friend were in the woods behind the witness's house when they saw a tall hair-covered hunched figure in reeds about 300 feet away. They watched it for about 20 seconds before it noticed them, stood up, and ran into the woods. The witness was struck by how fast it moved through marshy mud that caused the children to sink to their knees.
