Ruminer states that three men investigating the area of the January sighting at night saw an 8-foot, dark creature much wider than a man standing in the road 150 yards away. When the flashlights hit it it moved out of the road, returneing when the lights swung away. When the men tried to move closer they lost sight of it and did not see it again.
