Sightings by a hunter west of Greenville, in the woods near Hell's Hollow Rd. and Rt. 358

BFRO YEAR: 86/88 night, very dark Orangeville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania 1 witness

Account

In fall 1986 the witness was sitting in a parked truck at night in Hell's Hollow talking with a companion. A large dark-brown biped estimated at 7 to 8 feet tall walked past within a few feet of the front of the truck and disappeared into thick brush. The witness drove away quickly and believed the companion had not seen the figure.
