Scream in West Virginia (1930)
Account
The guest's grandfather was at a railroad-tie cutting job site with co-workers when they heard a loud guttural scream rising in pitch. A very tall hairy human-like creature stepped out of shaking bushes and screamed again, causing the men to flee. When they returned with the rest of the crew they found very large footprints in mud and noted a horrible smell.
