Mrs. Victory saw a dark figure pass by the kitchen window and asked Mr. Ford to check it out. He went out and saw a huge hairy creature walking past a shed, went in and got a shotgun and came back out, saw the creature pass through a neighbour's yard headed for the swamps. Its head stuck up well above a trailer that measures 8.25 feet off the ground. No suitable ground for tracks.
