Account

The witness and his son were walking back to the truck after deer hunting when they saw a tall hair-covered figure come out of a cedar thicket about 50 yards down their path. The figure stopped when they stopped, then stepped back into the thicket and disappeared from sight. They heard something following them and staying hidden all the way back to the truck.
