The witness was walking around a cabin toward an outhouse just before dawn. About 6-7 feet beyond a makeshift counter she saw peripherally a pewter or dark gray figure moving very rapidly on two feet. She said it made a noise but had no smell. Her companion was awakened afterward and searched but found nothing.
