Account
The [name withheld] family was at home in a heavily wooded area when the dogs became fearful, usual night sounds stopped, and a strange stillness and odor were noticed. They then heard limbs breaking across the road as if caused by something large. The next morning the husband found a trail at the location that he could not identify.
