Account

The witness stepped out of the garage around midnight and noticed a strong musky odor while dogs barked across the road. The next morning the witness found a yard tree limb twisted and split despite calm weather the prior day. The witness searched for footprints and other traces but found none, and cut out the twisted section to keep for study.
