Woman recalls an encounter as a child, in an alley in the town of Valentine
Account
Two children playing hide-and-seek ran into an alley and came face to face with a tall, dark-haired bipedal animal about fifteen feet away walking toward them. The animal screamed loudly without slowing or changing direction, prompting the children to scream and run home. They were not pursued and did not encounter it again.
