Account

The witness was sitting with relatives in a kitchen during the afternoon when a tall, dark-haired biped was seen moving quickly through weeds at the edge of the yard. Another relative present also saw it, and the creature was then seen again from the yard as it ran behind an outbuilding and left toward fenced fields and woods. The group was frightened, did not follow, and did not look for tracks.
