Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Cathy Betz:

According to the third-hand witness, her father was notified by a neighbor that 'something' was seen on the neighbor's porch. The neighbor had been driving up to his house when he saw 'something big, and not an animal on his porch. That is was very large and hairy' and when his headlights hit it, the 'unknown creature' ran from the porch, heading towards the property of her father's shop, easily hopping over a six foot fence. The neighbor then called the father, who then got into his truck and sped towards his shop. He reported that he saw 'a large man-like creature' run away from the shop and leaped over a ten foot creek that made a 'grunt' sound when it landed on the other side.
The neighbor found his wife, who was at home at the time, crying and shaking and pointing a pistol towards the door. She stated that she had heard something large jump onto her porch and was trying to pull on the screen porch door, making a 'popping' noise on the door. She screamed at the intruder to go away, but it continued to pull on the door until her husband's headlights appeared, then it left, running off towards the witness's property.
