Account
A farm wife driving past an abandoned farmyard just before dark reported seeing a hair-covered creature with a monkey-like face. She left the area quickly without lingering. The report was part of a series of accounts of a bear-like animal in a turkey-farming community that also included turkey losses and large tracks.
