Account
The witness was walking between houses to deliver an item when a noise drew attention to outbuildings. A very wide humanoid figure was seen hunkered by a block pump house with an arm on the roof. The witness fled to a relative's house, and relatives fired pistols uphill at something moving in the woods that yelped and moved faster.
