Possible nighttime encounter at a rural home near the village of Jane
Account
The witness went outside at night after dogs began barking and heard what sounded like bipedal footsteps in the woods behind the house. The footsteps approached after the witness called out, and a normally fearless dog retreated from the treeline. The witness inferred the source was very tall from the interval between steps and fired two shots into the ground, after which the footsteps calmly receded.
