Account
Two people camping on family land went into a nearby apple orchard late at night to collect firewood. After hearing a distant screeching sound and then a loud scream, they saw a short, heavy creature about 50 yards away that charged toward them. They ran back to a clearing where the pursuit stopped, then put out their campfire and left for the night.
