Boy has evening sighting while bike riding with brothers near Booneboro River

Summer 1976 around 7-8 PM Winchester And Richmond, Clark County, Kentucky 5 witnesses

Account

On a warm summer evening, brothers were playing in a wooded hillside area. One brother ran out of the woods screaming that he had seen a hairy monster. When the others went back with him, nothing was visible but a strong rotten smell lingered and very large human-like footprints were found in soft ground near a spring. Adults dismissed the account, but the brother maintained the claim years later.
