Account

Two young men were burning trash and playing harmonicas at a house when they started to race toward a barn. After a few steps they saw a very tall, broad figure that stopped and looked toward them, which startled them so they ran back inside the house. Soon after they heard banging sounds described like rocks being thrown at the house, but found no one outside when they checked.
