Account

The witness was outside behind home around 9 pm and heard heavy leaves crunching. The witness then saw a large hairy slouched figure standing under a security light watching, estimated at about nine to ten feet tall. The witness whistled several times, the figure turned to look and then walked with a long stride behind nearby trailers toward the woods.
