Class B First-hand BFRO #46320

Possible sightings and strange occurences close to a couple's home east of Bradford

8 August 2014 7:15pm Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania 2 witnesses

Account

A couple sitting at a picnic table beside a small pond noticed leaves fluttering with no wind and then saw a very large dark figure about 30 yards away in the treeline swaying back and forth. The wife described a gorilla-like face while her husband focused on the immense body size. After briefly watching them, the figure stepped back into the shadows and disappeared silently.
