Account
Virginia Imberton sitting in her dining room looking out the door saw a creature that walked upright like a man but had long arms like an ape and had hair all over walk around the edge of a pond and out of sight. Size not mentioned. Also a daughter (not Zona Green, who was only six at the time) was picking blackberries and almost put her hand on the large hairy leg of what she swears was not an ordinary animal.
