Account
As a child in winter the witness and a friend heard a loud noise and watched a tall dark hairy figure step over a fence, pass behind a fallen tree, approach then turn uphill into other woods. They followed barefoot tracks into the next woods and found several stacked rock piles containing dead cats, then left.
