Account

Late on Halloween night in 1996, the witness was driving over a bridge over Rock Creek after dropping off a relative. By car headlights the witness saw a large, dark, hairy figure squatting at the creek edge with its hands in the water. After a few seconds the figure stood, walked across the shallow creek, climbed the bank with little effort, and went into the trees.
