Witness Account:
I was 4-5 years old. Playing in my backyard and my red ball rolled toward a fence with a small thicket with blackberries. I went to get it. I felt something over me and as I looked up and met its eyes it bent down even further to me about a foot from my face and opens its mouth real wide at me. I froze and then started screaming. It's eyes darted around looking for the help I was screaming for. I backed up slowly as I was screaming. It looked disgusted with me that I screamed. It backed up and took off before my mom and brothers came to my rescue. I was found against the house with my nails dug into the wood siding.
Hand/foot prints:
No evidence was left. It took off fast and no sound.
Sounds:
After it sneered it's mouth at me, it huffed at me.
