Account
On a later visit to his friend's house, the guest heard a loud tree-ripping sound and saw a tall black figure. The nine-foot-tall man-shaped creature stepped straight over a chest-high barbed wire fence without rotating its hips, crossed the road, and walked down into the field toward the boys. It came within about forty feet with its head down and arms swinging before the boys fled to the friend's basement.
