Account
The witness reports being awakened in bed by heavy footsteps and a very foul smell while sleeping with the windows open. She listened as the unseen source walked past the house toward the dead end, followed by dogs barking, three gunshots, and a loud scream she described as non-human with running footsteps fading into the distance. Her husband slept through the episode and she states she was too scared to look out the window.
