Account
Robert Calusinski and Gus Fuentes fooling around in corn field at night when something hit Calusinski hard on the right side. They fled, but came back the next night, heard "Brrr, Whrrr" sound that came closer, threw some rocks, and saw 6 to 7 foot creature dart across the field. It was furry, had red eyes the size of baseballs.
