Incident #991399
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio
Jul 1990
Account
Rhonda Lafferty wrote about four different creatures, a huge white one seen often, a large black one seen seldom, a large brown one with breasts and a child-sized white one. With a separate report for each individual allows space to record a variety of other observations so that they will show up in indexed surveys, but they will relate to other items in the same report only by accident. The creatures have thrown many rocks on many occasions, lobbed with a high arc, aimed at people and at building roofs. Many trees and branches have been found broken off, up to 3-inch diameter. Screams, grunts and whistles heard. Various hairs collected. One smells like carcasses in a fur shop, another like the guts of a butchered animal. Police called to one rock throwing session, experienced it, found nothing.
