Account

The witness was walking with a friend out of tall grass into a field in the late afternoon when a tall, slim, white-furred creature was noticed about 100 feet away in the woods. The creature appeared to notice them, turned, and ran away very quickly. The witness did not see its face, hands, or feet clearly.
