Account
The witness claimed to see two dark brown, long-haired figures of different sizes, interpreted as a mother and offspring. The figures jumped over a fence easily, stared at the witness, then moved by an apple tree and headed toward a river. The witness ran inside to get two relatives and last saw the figures heading toward the river.
