Account
Two siblings were playing in a wooded valley by a stream on a family farm in late afternoon when they felt uneasy and heard a loud stick break. As they tried to leave over a fence, the reporter came face-to-face with a huge black hairy figure crouched behind a tree and screamed. The sibling also saw the figure standing fully erect and heard it pursuing him as both fled out of the woods to the farmhouse.
