Account
The witness was walking home alone on a gravel road when they noticed footsteps that seemed to stop and start with their own steps. They then saw a very large, hairy humanoid shape behind them that stared before moving, which frightened them into running to a lit section of road. The witness also noticed an odd smell and heard nearby hound dogs barking frantically.
