Account
Larry Callahan was walking to his girlfriend's house on the road from Douglas City to Hayfork. At the site of a burned sawmill on a flat area he walked past two huge dark figures standing beside the road. They turned their bodies as he went by as if watching him, but otherwise did nothing. When he returned in a car they were gone.
