Account
D.M. and friend, going to raid ice box about 2 a.m., turned on living room light and saw illuminated in yard a huge creature covered with dark brown hair walking away. Looked back quickly, turning upper body but not breaking stride. From behind neck was wider than head. Not counted as a track report because only large, shallow depressions in lawn, farther apart than observer could jump.
