Account

The witness sat on a stool in brushy woods near dusk in bad weather waiting for game. A very loud scream was heard from close range, prompting the witness to leave toward a road and a truck. An unseen heavy animal was heard breaking limbs, breathing and grunting at the tree line, then shadowing the walk and stopping when the witness stopped. The witness reached the truck and left without ever seeing the source.
