The witness and an older sibling took a vehicle to a burn site at the woods edge to burn household trash. While watching the fire, the witness heard a loud growl and saw a black, hairy, man-shaped figure walking into the woods over a slight rise. The pair fled to the house, where penned dogs were barking excitedly.
