While riding an ATV a tall biped is seen eating leaves from a tree on a farm near Richmond
Account
While riding an ATV on the family's timbered farm in daylight, a relative came around a corner and saw a tall dark hairy figure pulling leaves from a tree and eating them. The relative took a cell phone photo, then turned the vehicle around and left quickly with a companion. Minutes later the group heard four loud howls from the general area and left immediately.
