Account
The witness was deer hunting and walking downhill through woods toward a road where a relative waited. The witness smelled a strong foul odor and spotted a tall figure in dense brush, estimated at 7-8 feet, which moved its head. After moving closer, the witness heard two loud roar-like sounds and quickly left the area for camp.
