An account in Cambria County, Pennsylvania

It was in or around 1978 in Cambria County Pennsylvania. A person's dog got loose and made it to our home as it had done in the past. I decided I'd take a walk through the woods to take it home this time instead of the road. I walked up through the section of woods through the trail and down over a small hill into a clearing next to the farmers field. As we walked into the clearing the dog was in front me. It was a German shepherd. He kept whining and brushing at my legs not wanting me to go through the field. He did this 2 or 3 times. I looked over to the side of the field where the farmers fence was and where it broke to next section of woods near a old garbage dump. It was a small one for a home next to there. There is where I seen it hunched down on the ground leaning forward. Seemed like it was reaching through the fence to the garbage pile. It was all hairy from what I remember. It was kinda like moving things with its hand. It's height by stooping down was at least the height of the fence post that was there. I don't even think it knew I was there. Needless to say the dog and I turned tail and I walked very swiftly away from there. I walked the dog home by the way of the street.
