Account
The witness went to a creek at midnight with relatives and smelled a strong rotten odor that frightened them into running. After sitting for about ten minutes in the rain they heard a chained dog barking while the smell was still present, then the smell faded. They returned the next morning, found no smell, and concluded they had encountered a bigfoot.
