Paranormal encounter
Account
Two companions traveling with money stopped for the night at a roadside tavern and shared a locked upper room. During the night one was seized around the throat by a heavy, hairy, naked figure that he wrestled off, but a light showed no intruder and no way in or out. Weeks later they heard another traveler had been found dead in the same room with marks on the throat.
