Incident #1000431
Littlerock, Los Angeles Cty, California
1974
Account
Andrew and Hilda Bignian (presume this is correct name, they were called that in an earlier script, but called Stone in the book) spent the winter and spring in a resort cabin at the Little Rock reservoir, in the foothills north of the San Gabriel Mountains. Both are Indians. Their little dog was torn apart outside at night, and a string of fish was stolen from 12-feet up a pole. Mrs. Stone, in the book, went to the rear of the cabin to dump trash and came face to face with a creature covered with stringy white hair, stooped over drinking from the hose at their water tank. Deep-set eyes, flat nose, pendulous breasts, upper and lower fangs. Ran up hill on two legs, leaving strong odour behind. Tracks by the water tank, on earlier occasions, were 19 inches long, flat, very wide in front with only three large toes.
