Account
Frank Lawrence Jr. said that he heard something near an empty house across the road from his home in Marietta, and he and Craig Warbus, who had a flashlight, went there, rounded a corner and saw a 7 foot, dark, hair-covered creature with a flat face and no neck. He backed away, then ran. Creature had a strong smell. Frank's mother said she had heard a whistle. Not know in Warbus saw the creature. This happened on a Saturday late in October, a few days after his sister's sighting of the hand through the window.
