Account
Benjamin May and friend went at night to investigate 'haunted' rail bridge. Heard rustling in woods, then near abandoned barn in pasture heard deafening scream roar and heard heavy footsteps in field. Saw something running toward them on all fours. It stopped and stood up, looked at least 16 feet tall. They fled and it chased them. As they got to their car another car was coming and the thing left.
