Connie and Tom Courter arrived their mobile home on Henschen Road just West of Ind. 56 at 11 p.m., as they got out of the car a monster collided with it and dented it. Next night they saw it perched on a hill. It made a noise like 'ugh' and Tom fired at it with a .22. After first shot the creature "jumped up, started acting as if it was going to leave and he fired all 15 shots into it, it would crawl to get away from the shots." Hit by car.
