Account
The witness and companions returned in the morning to the area where a decapitated boar had been found the day before. They heard crashing in the brush and a loud scream and ran toward the sound. They saw a tall dark figure cross a dyke and wade through deep water until it disappeared. Shortly after, a hog head was thrown from the swamp and struck a companion, who fired shots, and the group left that afternoon.
