Account
Gordon Bateman told Vance Orchard that his mother, Fren Corbett Bateman, came to Huntsville in 1892 when her father bought the old flour mill there, and one day in 1900 she went out to the garden behind the house, near the Touchet River, and saw this big, hairy thing standing there with one leg perched on the gate. She screamed and ran for the house. It took off too.
