5 witnesses
Account
Five girls were walking in the woods when they heard crashing from across a meadow and hid to watch. They observed a very tall, hairy bipedal figure with long arms approaching, noticing a foul smell. After one cousin made a noise, the figure was startled and walked back into the woods, and the girls ran home.
