Man observes tall, white hair-covered creature during a family gathering near Lake Ontario

20 September 2003 early to mid afternoon, between 1pm - 4pm Wolcott, Wayne County, New York 3 witnesses

Account

A relative reported seeing a creature in the woods and another relative brought the witness outside to look. The three stood in one field and watched a tall white hair-covered figure about 200 yards away across a tree strip for about 45 seconds as it moved and appeared to watch them. When the witness walked into the second field for a closer look, it had disappeared, leaving only matted vegetation.
