Account
Two Kingwood brothers were hunting swuirrel about 500 yards behind their house, and noted that the area was unusually quiet. Then one noticed a huge hairy creature walking on two legs, crossing a field toward the tree line. He called his brother. The animal took only a few seconds to cover 250 yards, with tremendous strides. When it turned back to look at them it turned the entire torso.
