Account
The witness was walking back to camp along railroad tracks around midnight when a strong foul odor stopped him. A creature with red eyes stepped from a ditch onto the tracks about 20 feet away and stared at him for one to two minutes. The creature then crossed two sets of tracks in a single leap and went up a hill, and the witness fled back to camp.
