Account
Three teenagers were packing up at dusk by a rope swing near the refuge when one noticed a motionless eight-foot creature at the tree line about twelve to fourteen yards away. They stared at each other for several minutes, noting glowing red eyes and a strong sulfur odor, then fled in a truck and stayed away for years.
