Account
Two boys were playing in the afternoon near a slate dump and coal mine entrance when they saw an upright gray-white ape-like creature standing at the mine mouth with an arm resting on a high timber. They watched each other briefly while it moved its arm, and the boys became frightened and ran to get parents. When they returned, the creature was gone.
