Account
The witness, about 15 at the time, was bow-hunting from a stand with his father nearby after sunrise. He noticed a large brown bush-like shape on a power-line hill that stood up into a man-shaped figure and then walked toward the woods, pausing to look back. Both the witness and his father watched it for an extended period before leaving the area.
