Account
When the witness was 15, they were fishing with their dog on Twin Creek near dark and noticed the dog acting uneasy and staring across the creek. While walking home through woods toward a cornfield, the dog growled, whimpered and backed away at a thick cedar stand. The witness heard a few twigs snap from within the cedars, saw nothing else, and ran with the dog to the cornfield behind the house.
