Woman recalls afternoon sighting near the outskirts of Marion

The witness recalled seeing a light-colored hairy creature at the edge of a small woods near the family home on a summer afternoon. From about 70 feet away, the witness watched for about two minutes as it picked berries from a bush while bent over in tall grass. When it noticed being watched, it looked toward the witness, then took large steps into the woods and disappeared, after which the witness screamed.
