Man while checking spooked cattle with his grandfather observes 8'-9' bipedal animal leaning against tree
Account
The witness and a relative were on the porch at night when cattle became disturbed and ran to a fence. They drove the perimeter with night vision and a high beam and saw eyeshine high in trees near a pond. Scanning down, the witness saw a tall hair-covered figure leaning against a tree, which turned and walked away when the witness turned to alert the companion.
