Young Woman Observes Large Biped in a Field east of Pittsburgh

The witness was sitting outside at night talking on the phone when she heard movement in nearby woods and then noticed a strange odor. She looked up and saw a very large, hair-covered figure standing in a field about 30 feet away.

The next morning she and a relative found flattened grass, clearings, and tracks leading into the woods but were too frightened to follow them.

Witness observes red eyes on a tall animal in the dark

Late on a warm clear night in July 1975, the witness heard a loud noise in the woods in front of the house.
