Young woman has close encounter at night outside of Georgetown
Account
The primary witness waited outside an abandoned farmhouse at night while companions explored inside. A large black hair-covered animal charged toward her through tall weeds and veered away at the last moment. She screamed and the companions ran out to find her shaken. The investigator later interviewed her directly about the bluff charge.
