Account
The witness and a relative went to the barn in the morning to tend cattle while lambs were making noise. The witness walked toward an old oak tree on a hill and looked up to see a hairy figure sitting among the limbs. The witness called to the relative to come meet the figure, but the relative reacted with fear and sent the witness toward the house.
