Account
The witness and a friend were walking toward a creek to meet the witness's brother. Near a fence they heard bipedal footsteps and brush movement, then walked into a dark shape they mistook for a bush. They felt fur and the shape moved vigorously, suggesting a large seated being they had stepped on, after which both fell, screamed, and ran toward a nearby yard light.
