Account
The witness, then a child, climbed a hill in the woods near home to meet friends. He heard branches breaking and saw a large gray hairy creature standing up a few feet away, which took a few steps and vanished without a sound. He smelled a sickly sweet odor as he left, went home frightened, and avoided the woods alone afterward.
