Account

The witness returned home from work late at night and noticed a large figure crouched near a deer lick in the yard. He turned on bright lights and walked toward it thinking it was a poacher, then smelled strong body odor and mildew and realized it was not human. The figure stood up and they stared at each other before it left down a game trail into the brush.
