Account

The witness left her remote cabin in the evening to go to the outhouse when her guard dog hid under the cabin and she heard something large crashing through nearby alders. She went back inside to get her husband, who also heard crashing through the trees. The next morning they found alders snapped off about four feet up along a flattened trail but found no tracks.
