Account
Five boys, 4 to 12, playing in woods on a warm summer day. As they left in the evening, Donald Harris, 6, the last to leave, came running out screaming and saying he had seen a hairy monster. They all went back, but found nothing but a strange smell. Next day in soft area by a little spring boys found footprints like human but very big. Adults refused to go and look.
