Account
Three boys saw two huge pine trees shaking at the top when other trees were not moving. They stopped and saw a huge, hairy creature with a strong odour like old, musty, moldy hair. It ran on two legs toward a swamp when it saw them, turning and making a gesture of attack when they followed.
