Witness Account:
I saw a very tall creature in one of our pastures. It had a medium brown fur coat, but its face was not furry. It made a very loud noise which my neighbors also heard and called our house right after it happened. Thay didn't see the "beast" though. The creature stood about 7.5 ft. tall and was very stoutish.
Hand/foot prints:
Didn't see tracks.
Sounds:
It made a very loud noise.
Additional observations:
I noticed that some dogs started barking before I saw it, but the dogs were about a mile away from the area that the creature was standing. The creature also spooked the cows pretty bad. I know that something has been systematicly killing our cows in the same little clear spot.
