Account
Late at night the witness walked out to a parked car outside a companion's house to retrieve cigarettes. Across the road the witness saw a very large, tall hairy creature watching. The witness froze briefly, then ran back inside to tell the two companions, who were too scared to go outside. No footprints were found when the area was checked the next day.
