Adult recalls childhood sighting at dusk near Moody
Account
When about 11 years old, the witness was picking rocks in a ditch at dusk with a dog when a tall, hunched, naked entity covered in gray-white matted hair appeared a few feet away staring. The witness screamed, the dog fled toward the house, and the entity screamed back in a loud high-pitched voice before sprinting away up the ditch. The witness ran home and reported a shaggy old man to a parent but was not believed.
