Sightings around a property near Chesnee
Account
The witness and three young companions were swimming at a creek when the companions ran past telling the witness to run. The witness looked back and saw a large hairy figure leaning on a tree by the creek. The group fled up a steep railroad embankment, then heard something charging up behind them pushing pines aside, so they escaped down the other side through briars and vines.
