OBSERVED: I was on my front porch smoking. I heard some rustling off in the distance and didn't think nothing about it, there is a lot off deer over in my area. Then I seen it stand up and run across the street to the wooded area. Both 30 yards from my house. It was dark outside so it was a dark massive upright figure standing 8-9 ft. Arms were about middle of its thigh. Couldn't see the facial features but before it crossed the street it looked both ways. The eyes had a little glare to them maybe a small eye shine. Also smelled like a musty odor for a bit later on in the night. I was sitting in the house and heard a deep scream howl kinda noise and it went on and off the rest of the .

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Stan Courtney:

I spoke with the witness by phone.

In summary:

• The animal was between eight and nine feet tall.
• The animal's weight was 350 to 400 lbs.
• The hair was black.
• The animal was crouched down when first seen, stood up, looked both ways and trotted across the street and into the woods.
• The street lights provided enough light for the witness to see the animal and its movements.
• Although there are many homes in the area there are extensive wooded areas both beside the witness' home and across the street.
