Two young hunters hide and watch hairy bipedal animal walking near the Jenkins Ferry Battleground Historical Monument
Account
The witness and a relative were waiting on a gravel road in forested wetland for daylight to hunt. They saw a tall hair-covered figure emerge at the roadside, pause, then walk across the road before slipping on the bank and entering the water and timber. They fled to their vehicle and left the area with a parent.
