Property owner describes activity near South Portsmouth
Account
The witness reports repeated encounters over three to four months near the family home involving a large bipedal animal that is not a bear and has a very strong bad odor. Dogs are frightened by it and horses become agitated when it is close, and some livestock have been lost. The witness's children also saw it while walking to catch the school bus, and a follow-up account describes a brief thirty-foot sighting of a seven to eight foot tall grayish-black haired animal.
