Account

The witness went outside to retrieve a bicycle. As relatives shouted from the yard and house, the witness saw a slim hair-covered figure with long arms walk past nearby, look toward the witness, and continue into the bush. Relatives searched immediately after and found footprints, from which a cast was made that was later lost.
