Account
The witness and his wife got up late at night and saw a tall hairy figure standing by the corner of the old garage foundation behind the house. They made eye contact for 15-20 seconds before it raised an arm in a waving motion and quickly disappeared. The ground was hard and no tracks were found the next morning. The witness believes the same animal had been taking chickens from the area.
