Account
Pixie Mooris and a friend were walking about 2 a.m. on a path a couple of miles west of Reith, when they saw an "animal-person" crouched by a cattle chute watching them, about 10 feet away. After about 30 seconds it reached one hand to the top rail of the chute, lifted its whole body over and ran off into the brush upright but slightly bent forward. Was 6 foot or better, dark, completely covered with smooth hair, but built like a man.
