Account
The witness's late father was deer hunting from a tree stand in Maryland shortly after daylight when he noticed a tall hair-covered figure leaning against a tree. The figure looked up after the father sneezed, then stood up and ran away. The father described it as about 8 feet tall, covered head to toe in dark brown hair, with a strong skunk-like odor.
