Incident #991528
McNaughton, Oneida Cty, Wisconsin
Feb 1980
Account
Girl was alone at home when dogs started to bark wildly. Looking out window she saw partly behind a 15-foot spruce tree two glowing yellow eyes belonging to a creature seven foot tall. It stood slouched, with shoulders bent over and cupped hands near knee level. After a while the creature 'loped' away into the woods with a smooth, bipedal stride. She heard a growling sound from the woods later, and next day she and a friend found marks where the creature had been, but they were not definite in the fluffy snow.
