Account

Early next morning the witness followed chatter and movement along an old road and sat in a huckleberry clearing. A large blonde-brown female sat about eight to ten feet away feeding, yawned showing human-like teeth, held his hand, and fed chewed berries to a toddler. A large dark male watched from behind, a juvenile female appeared nearby, and after vocalizations and a tree being thrown down the group left.
