Account

The witness was standing on the front porch at night while the father left to search for horses. A tall hairy human-like figure approached to the iron fence, held the witness's gaze, and placed a hand on the fence top. When the witness glanced at returning jeep headlights, the figure quickly moved halfway down the pasture and disappeared.
