Three boys playing games witness a huge creature walking through their front yard
Account
Four children playing a hiding game around a house heard something large running in a nearby thicket. Shortly after, three of them watched a thick, dark, hairy biped stride across the road and down a bank into a cornfield. They ran inside to tell a relative, who laughed. The witness recalled the image vividly years later.
