Account
Farmer laying electric fence had noticed large tracks and smelled a strong sewer-like odour. Putting in a post around 8.30 p.m. he glanced up and saw the head and shoulders of a tall, black, hairy biped walking away in the woods. He then made a cast of one of the tracks, which Paul Johnson later examined.
