Account
The witness was driving with a companion when they stopped beside an open field after spotting a figure about 30 to 35 yards away. The figure reportedly stood in the open looking at them for about five minutes. The two drove a short distance home to retrieve a camera and rifles, but the figure was gone when they returned minutes later and they did not search on foot.
