Class A First-hand BFRO #9694

Teens smell odor, have brief sighting

28 October 2004 about 8:30 or 9:00 PM Blain, Perry County, Pennsylvania 3 witnesses

Account

Three companions were driving at night to spotlight deer and stopped to watch a close owl with the windows down. They noticed a strong foul odor and watched the owl fly away. As they prepared to move, an entity crossed the road from the hill edge to the embankment top, with only its large hairy legs visible in dim headlights. They left quickly and had not returned.
