Account
A relative relayed an account of the main witness encountering a strong unpleasant odor while walking in the woods in 1969. The odor was described as a wet-dog type body odor rather than a rotting carcass smell and reportedly caused the witness's hair to stand on end. The group turned back after the encounter.
