Account

The witness was sitting in a kitchen with relatives in the afternoon when they saw a tall hair-covered biped moving very quickly through weeds at the edge of the yard. One relative also saw it. The group then went outside and saw it again in the yard as it dashed behind a storage building and disappeared toward a fence, fields and woods. They were frightened and did not look for tracks.
