Man has afternoon sighting and finds scat on his property near Flat River

Account

In November 1997 the witness looked from an upstairs window and saw two gray upright figures at the woods edge about 100 yards behind the house. He watched for about ten seconds while they stood side by side swaying, then ran downstairs and outside but they were gone. A relative who was at the house did not see them, and a later search found no tracks or unusual odor.
