Man recalls seeing a tall dark creature behind his house at dusk near Laurel
Account
On a summer evening at dusk the witness was behind the home with the dog near a drainage pond bordering woods. The witness noticed rustling and saw a tall, hairy bipedal figure about 100 yards away just inside the treeline. The witness and dog watched it for a couple minutes until it looked toward them, then it turned and walked deeper into the woods, increasing its pace.
