Man recalls incident as a child in a swampy area near Cazenovia
Account
When the witness was a young child, the witness and a companion were chopping a rotted fallen tree with hammers far out in a swamp. After hearing a loud noise described as like a scream, they saw a very large dark man-like form walking very near them. Both children dropped everything and ran home without looking back.
