Midday observation by young hunters near Glasford
Account
While hunting in a wooded area, the witness and a friend watched from a hill as their dog barked nearby. They saw a hair-covered figure where two ravines met about 100 yards below. The figure looked at them, took two steps, and disappeared back up the ravine. The witness confirmed the sighting with the friend at the time and told no one else for years.
