Class A First-hand BFRO #3584

Another encounter near Rt. 358 and Hell's Hollow Road, outside Greenville

Fall 1984 dusk Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania 2 witnesses

Account

Two scouts hiding in brush during an evening Capture the Flag game at a Boy Scout camp reportedly flushed a tall, hair-covered biped. The creature moved away through the woods while both watched, and they then left the area quickly. The account was relayed secondhand by a fellow camper and later supplemented by a phone conversation with one of the witnesses.
