Account
The witness was doing early-morning chores before school when a loud screeching sound drew them behind the house toward a swampy area. Near a row of trees, a large hairy creature emerged and ran away quickly and almost silently. Startled, the witness fled in the opposite direction and later told a relative who did not believe them.
