Account
Three people were walking in dense young pines near an airport when they noticed a strong foul odor. Minutes later they heard a loud scream they did not recognize, followed by loud branch-breaking and stomping. The source stayed in the trees and followed them noisily as they ran to the runway and continued toward a terminal building and their car after dark.
