Account
When 11 years old, the witness was playing near the woods at dusk and felt repeatedly drawn to look at the tree line. The witness noticed a dark pear-shaped form just inside the woods that resembled a bushy shrub. After staring, the shape stood up and walked down into a streambed and up the other side into the forest. The frightened witness ran inside reporting a monster.
