Account
In fall 1978, after hearing horses causing a disturbance at the barn below the house, the witness and a companion went down a trail to investigate. They saw a very tall hair-covered creature standing by a hitching post that only reached its knees. The companion fled uphill while the witness watched the creature walk away with long smooth strides into the trees, hearing light rustling as it moved uphill.
