Account

Around 2 a.m. the witness stepped out of a backyard tent and saw a tall hair-covered figure standing by the corner of the house near a pine tree. After staring at each other for several seconds, the figure pushed off the tree, causing it to sway, and ran silently down a bank toward the woods and cornfield. The witness described the figure as about 7 to 8 feet tall with off-white to tan hair and longer-than-human arms.
