A teenager witnesses a black, fur covered creature attempt to pull a dog pen out of the ground.
Account
Around midday the witness went to check on barking dogs in a pen behind the home. There he encountered a tall, hair-covered figure pulling at the pen wire, which turned to face him before fleeing toward the forest. A relative who ran outside also saw the figure running away. No physical evidence remained the next day after an overnight thunderstorm.
