OBSERVED:    I was out fishing in a pond close to my house,
It was dark and I had made a campfire.  After a while I packed up my pole
and the fish I caught, I got out my flash light and began walking up the hill towards
my house.  My dog Daisy was with me about halfway up the hill.
Daisy went nuts barking... A large hairy thing came out of the woods...
It was about 9 foot tall, At first I thought it was a man, then I pointed my flash light
at it... It had reddish hair and arms almost as wide as a oak. My dog chased it off into the woods...
Scared i ran up to my house and locked the door...
The next morning I found Daisy in a ditch with a large wound...
I took her to the vet.  She came out fine just a scar on the side of her stomach...
