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

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.

Adults dismissed the account, but the brother maintained the claim years later.
