Man in boat spotting deer witnesses a three to four foot tall biped walking on a log followed by a scream
Account
The witness was traveling up a flooded river by boat in the evening to look for deer. While rounding a bend near piled flood debris, the witness briefly saw a small dark biped walk up a log and disappear. Shortly after noticing nearby deer, the witness heard two very loud screams, the second longer and louder, prompting the deer to flee and the witness to leave.
