Account
The witness and a companion were walking toward a relative's home near the hills after their car broke down. They heard a whistling noise, then a howl-like sound, then a noise in nearby bushes which they went to investigate. A large figure appeared directly in front of them, and they ran while it chased them about 400 yards from the initial spot.
