Account

The witness was in the kitchen in the morning and looked out a window toward the woods to check why the dogs were barking. From about 500 feet away, the witness saw the upper half of a large dark upright figure moving south along the treeline behind a knoll. The figure had a large head with no visible snout and large swinging arms, and was estimated at eight to nine feet tall. It did not react to the barking dogs and continued on its way.
