Medical doctor recalls his daylight sighting as a teenager near Huntington
Account
The witness and a companion were walking in woods behind a relative's farm when they came to a hilltop clearing. They watched an unfamiliar animal bent over using its upper limbs for several minutes. The animal then stood bipedally, looked at them, and left by jumping over a barbed-wire fence at the edge of a thicket, after which the pair ran back to the farmhouse.
