Account
The witness and a relative were riding horses beside a field bordering dense woods when their horses were startled. They saw an upright creature with long multicolored hair growling, thrashing in blackberry bushes, and raising its hands. The horses bolted toward the barn, the witness's saddle slipped and she became stuck, then she was pulled onto the other horse and they rode home.
