On a dark night, Kyle Kitts was wandering through the woods near his home when something caught his attention near a chicken coop that was next to a barbed wire fence, and behind it for several miles were cows and other farm animals. 

He remembered seeing two red eyes sticking out of the darkness near the ground, then he walked over to them to get a better look. He remembered looking at the bulbous, oval-shaped eyes that seemed to have a black slit in them, like a cat's eyes. 

He looked back at the Kitts, and he sensed danger, got scared, and ran to his house, shouting for his father to come out. His father ran out and saw something that looked like an animal 3-4 feet tall (0.9-1.2 m), which was running right on its feet, and its legs were like those of a kangaroo, but it wasn't jumping, it was just running very fast. In the light of the lamppost, they saw that the creature was black with scaly skin with spikes running down its back. 

A neighbor reported that an unknown predator killed 10-15 of her chickens.

Summary: On a dark night Kyle Keatts was wandering about in the woods near his home when something caught his eye near the chicken coop, which was near a barbed wired fence, and beyond that for several miles were some cows and other farm animals. He remembered seeing two red eyes that stuck out from out of the darkness near the ground, he then approached it in order to obtain a better look. He remembered looking at the protruding, oval-shaped eyes, which appeared to have a black slit through them, like a cat’s eyes. It looked back at the Keatts and he perceived a sense of danger and became frightened, and ran towards his house yelling for his father to come out. His father ran out and saw what appeared to be a 3-4 foot tall animal running upright on its legs, and its legs looked like that of a kangaroo, but it did not hop, it just ran very fast. In the light of the light pole they saw that the creature was black with scaly-looking skin with what looked like spikes running down its back. A neighbor had reported that an unknown predator had slaughtered 10-15 of her chickens.
