Afternoon sighting by youth along isolated road near Leiper's Fork
Account
The witness and a companion parked their mini bike and walked down a farm path while looking for fishing bait. About 30 to 40 yards away, the witness saw a hairy, stocky creature standing bent over and moving its arms through a patch of May apple. Both individuals ran while the creature watched them, then it reportedly resumed its prior activity.
