Account

The witness was driving home late at night and stopped near a telephone pole after headlights revealed reflective eyes. A tall, dark-haired figure stood behind the pole swaying for several seconds before running into the woods. The witness heard grunting and a screech, smelled a musky odor, and noticed a dead deer in a nearby field.
