Account

At about age 12, the witness and a companion were hunting raccoons at night along a creek. They noticed a strong foul odor and heard a large splash as if someone fell into the water. When they reached the spot no one was visible and only disturbed murky water remained. A few days later a flood fence in the area was found torn up.
