Account

The witness states they were checking corn left for deer along a gas well road with a companion. They turned toward their truck and saw a tall, hairy creature standing by a tree about 30 feet off the road, pushing a branch away from its face to watch them. After staring briefly, the witness told the companion to get in the truck.
