Children chased from woods by a seven foot tall creature
Account
The witness was walking with two companions in a wooded area near houses and a field when they noticed a tall, bulky upright figure approaching from a short distance. The figure chased them as they ran toward a clearing, closing to within about 15 feet before stopping at the woods edge while they continued running. The witness recalled a musty animal smell and noted the chaser made no audible running noise, describing the face as hairy with indistinct features.
