REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: In Late November of 2006 I was visiting my sister in Yerington, Nevada, for Thanksgiving. One night, at about eight o'clock, I was outside in the back yard with my son, my daughter and my two nieces. We were all outside talking and laughing and the kids were playing and running. At one point we heard the animals start to make noise, enough to make us wonder what was going on. My sister has a large area in the back where she keeps her horses and various other animals.
We walked around a small shed where we could see past the horse corral and across the field toward Hwy 95, leading East out of Yerington toward Schurz. The moon was pretty close to full so we could see quite a ways out past the horse pin into the adjacent desert. After a couple of minutes we saw it. I dont know what it was but, it was large and looked shaggy. It was a dark, bi-pedal creature. It was bent at the hips with sort of a stoop, it looked odd by the way it ran it looked forward heavy. It was running very fast perpendicular to my sister's property and was moving very fast. However, you could see by its gait that it required little effort to achieve the speed at which is was moving.
At this point each of us were asking the other what they thought they saw and decided to run into the house. We all talked about this that night and questioned what we each saw. We all agreed with the description here. We went to sleep that night each of us shaken and a little nervous but not overly concerned. Living out in the desert where they do you occasionally see things you can't explain.
When we got up the next day my sister was very aggravated because something had walked into the pump house, where her deep freezer is located, taken out a 5lb package of frozen hamburger, taken several large bites out of it, then left it laying on the floor. The freezer was left open for some time as some of the food was starting to thaw. This event would have had to happen between eight o'clock, when we saw the creature, and about seven-thirty in the morning, when my sister went out to get breakfast from the fridge. We have never seen the creature again, or had another occurrence of someone taking food out of the freezer but, I can tell you when I visit her house now, I never get very far from the doorway at night.
