Account

The witness and a relative were hunting deer late in the afternoon when they heard sounds like wood blocks struck together. Moments later they saw a dark fur-covered figure moving upright very quickly through thick brush, visible only from the upper thigh up for a few seconds. About five minutes later they heard a loud thud like a limb falling.
