The witness was watching TV when she heard dogs barking in the street. 

When she turned on the porch light, she noticed a strange "creature" by the pond in her yard about 30 feet (9 m) away. 

The creature was about 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) tall, gray in color. He had large dark eyes and rounded ears above his head. It had long arms and a short tail. It made a gurgling sound. The creature's entire body was covered in fur. He stared at the witness for a few seconds, then headed for the tent at the south end of the pond. 

He seemed to "jump" when he moved, and seemed to walk on his hind legs, resting his" knuckles " on his front hands on the ground. When he reached the tent, he looked at the witness again, and the dogs began to chase him, but the witness called them back. 

The creature was last seen moving along a barbed-wire fence. Soon after, the witness heard a squeal from that direction.
