Men have sighting while haying field
Account
The witness and three companions were collecting hay bales in a field bordering forest at dusk. When truck headlights illuminated the area, the witness sat on a bale near the tree line and saw a tall hair-covered figure standing on two legs about 15 feet away at the forest edge. The witness ran toward the truck while the companions honked and revved the engine, and after reaching the truck only moving brush and shuffling sounds were observed.
