Account
At around 10 p.m. in 1963, the witness was lying in bed trying to sleep when heavy footsteps passed the bedroom window. The witness saw a huge shadow moving bipedally with a human-like walk, described as taller than a man, then heard a loud low-pitched moan. Frightened, the witness ran to the parents' bedroom sobbing and shaking.
