Incident #991402
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio
Oct 1990
Account
Further information from Rhonda Lafferty's letters. The little sasquatch climbed trees, played endlessly and was very curious about human children. The creatures appeared to have taken over an empty building and to resent humans going there. They would throw rocks. The small one spent time in the attic, but would run out when humans went there. Rhonda and her husband apparently split up sometime in 1991, leaving he with no more contact with the situation. Mrs. Smart is David Lafferty's sister. Subsequently Bob Daigle set up his surveillance camcorder, lighting and trip system, and got pictures of the vacant building being torn apart. Eventually the Smarts moved out, and new occupants of the property tore the remains of the vacant building down. They do not welcome investigators.
