Account

Late at night a group gathered above the football field during foggy full-moon conditions. The group noticed a large shadowy bipedal form at a distance that appeared and disappeared in moving fog. Some members started toward it before it vanished in the fog, and the witness reported feeling unable to advance beyond a point. An odor was noted in connection with the sighting.
