Account
The witness recalls an encounter from about age 7 at home when a very tall, hairy, garbage-smelling creature that was not a bear walked past them. The witness's mother then grabbed the witness and they ran inside. The witness links later experiences, including a similar smell in March, to ongoing crossings at the home near a creek.
