Account
The witness rode a motorcycle to a pond at the edge of a field to look for amphibians. While walking around the pond, the witness heard cracking from the opposite treeline and briefly saw a large dark shaggy form break a branch and disappear into the forest. The lower legs were hidden by a mound, but the witness estimated the height at about seven feet and then left for the house.
