Account
As an eleven-year-old child in Erie, Kansas in late summer 1980, the witness opened a door and saw a fast-moving hair-covered creature travel the length of a mobile home in a few long strides. It moved from the neighbor's trailer to within twenty-five feet, prompting the witness to flee to a truck.
