Night sighting outside rural home near Bruceton Mills

Account

Late at night at a farm home, the witness and a companion looked out the back door after the dogs barked then went quiet. They saw a large hair-covered creature near a mineral feeder that rose onto two legs, looked toward them, then walked upright toward a hay field while swinging its arms. They also heard heavy breathing and a gruff sound and noticed a foul odor during the stare.
