Story by Steve Vance quotes Dick and June Putnam regarding strange incidents in 1978 in the vicinity of the 20-acre ranch they had purchased above Diamond Valley, including sounds of something heavy walking in the brush where their car was stuck on the steep road up to the property, then next night a very deep, very loud growl on the same hill. Early in June, 1979, something big fell from a tree onto the car while their son Scott, 16, and a friend were driving nearby--leaving dents and "huge handprints" on the roof. Only definite evidence found two nights later, on the road up to the house, Scott saw footprints in the ground and he and Dick and June got out and inspected 27 prints, 18" x 7", with five long toes and deep heel marks. Later Mitch Hummell took pictures of the footprints, and plaster casts were made by someone.
