Account

The witness was planting flowers in the back yard near sunset when dogs alerted. The witness saw two tall hair-covered figures moving east in single file about 150 feet away, with the smaller following very closely behind the larger. When the witness moved, the figures dropped into tall grass and foliage, while a dog continued barking along the fence line.
