Account
Rodney and friend were watching TV in friend's parents' mobile home on a hill a quarter mile from the nearest house. They heard a noise, looked up and saw a large face looking in the window of the front door. Very heavy brow, deepset eyes, nose wide and flat with flared nostrils, lis thick and rubbery. Hair an inch long on face. Ran out back door and saw it step over a 3-strand barbed wire fence and run off across field towards woods, hunched over, with arms swinging below its knees. Looked for tracks next day but found none. Height from ground (no steps) to door window 7'6".
