Account
Thelma West, 69, mother of Robert Richie, whose farm was the location of most of a series of sightings in early August, said that about four weeks earlier she had put out some stinky garbage and the creature came right up on her porch. A man who was there shot at with a shotgun and it ran off into the woods. It had big red eyes, and when it went down on all fours for a moment its eyes were even in height with hers. She is 5'3". No other description. Her town of Peavine is not on a road map. Is said to be five miles from Richie farm at Stilwell.
