Crawford County, Pennsylvania
1 witness
Account
On his eighth birthday, the witness walked about a mile from home with a new pellet gun and sensed being watched near a logging trail. He claimed a large dark furry figure about 50 yards into the woods moved parallel to him and stopped when he stopped. Frightened, he dropped the gun and ran home, then returned with his two brothers but did not see it again.
