Account

As children, the witness and two companions were fishing and walked up an old logging road when they heard a noise and saw a creature across the road in the trees. The creature stayed in cover across the road and kept pace as they ran back down toward a clearing, at times getting ahead then stopping to watch them. Once they reached the clearing, it was gone.
