A man driving stops to watch a hair covered creature walk across a cornfield
Account
On Thanksgiving morning the witness was driving back from rabbit hunting and scanning open cornfields for deer when they stopped to watch a large dark hair-covered form walking upright across corn stubble toward the woodline about 1/8 to 1/4 mile away. The witness then left the area. The sighting occurred less than a mile from a lake bank where the witness and three companions had heard an unidentified scream and crashing sounds the previous year, which the witness now links to the same kind of animal.
