Account
Late in November 2006 the witness was visiting a relative in Yerington, Nevada, standing outside at night with four young relatives when animals began making noise. The group looked past a corral into the desert in bright moonlight and watched a large dark shaggy bipedal creature run quickly across the field with a stooped posture. Frightened, they went inside to compare accounts and agreed on the description.
