Incident #991400
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio
Aug 1990
Account
Further information from Rhonda Lafferty's letter. There were two types of footprints, one human-shaped, one triangular, as wide at the toes as they were long. She eventually saw perfect prints in wet sand which showed enormously long toes, 5 to 6 inches of tracks a 16 to 18 inch print. A series shows tremendous flexibility. Hands prints are up to 3/4 the size of footprints. One once reached in a window of the Smart house and knocked down a shelf unit. It had huge eyes with an almost hypnotic effect. It seemed that the creatures were attracted by the presence of human females. Sometimes witnesses could whistle and creatures would whistle back, snort and they would snort back. They seemed mor restless on hot clear nights.
