A brief encounter with a light colored hair covered creature

May 2000 spring morning Waverly, Pike County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was walking around Lake White on a clear spring morning and saw a tall manlike creature about 50 yards away. The creature moved quickly behind a tree, then peeked out at the witness. A herd of deer behind the witness stood still then moved, appearing confused about which direction to run, and both the witness and the deer fled. The witness felt they had come between the creature and the deer and thought it may have been hunting the deer.
