Account

The witness and five companions drove to an abandoned oilfield road at night to hang out and walked into the surrounding woods with flashlights. Two companions in front flushed something that had been lying on the ground and chased it through thick brush and across a creek, describing it as a man-sized black shape. After regrouping at their trucks, the group heard loud banging on the truck beds with no one visible, became frightened, and left the area.
