Account
The witness and a relative were target shooting near a lake at sunset and walked to look for deer sign. The relative reported seeing a tall hairy figure by the car while whistles were heard. As they returned to the car in the dark they encountered a strong foul odor, heard heavy running footsteps ending with a thud near a gully, and heard a grating voice-like sound before driving away.
