Account
The witness went to an area called Horse Heaven one evening to look for wild horses and watched them for a while. While driving out toward the blacktop and rounding a sharp turn, the headlights revealed a large white-haired creature crouched on its haunches. The creature then stood up with a grunt and walked into a thicket of jack-pines and brush.
