Animal behaviour near Pocahontas County (2018)

evening
Pocahontas County, West Virginia
1 witness
Account
The next evening the witness chased a black figure uphill and found it lying flat on its back against a bank with nowhere to hide. A second individual whistled from the right and hung swinging from a tree to distract him. When he looked back, the first had stood up directly over him, and he felt he lost control of his legs and walked away downhill.
