Account

The witness was washing dishes in a rented farmhouse in the early morning and looked out the back window. She saw a very large, tan, long-haired creature hurrying across a fenced field toward a tree line, observing its face, arms and legs as it passed a break in the fence. She moved between windows to keep watching until it disappeared into the trees, and did not go outside to look for tracks.
