Account
The witness was riding a horse home late on a dirt road after losing track of time. The horse became agitated while crossing a plank bridge. The witness then saw two large erect creatures side by side about 35 yards away in a meadow opening, swaying as if scenting. The witness galloped home and looked back to see the pair walking erect into the woods.
