Incident #991753
Pembroke, Christian Cty, Kentucky
1976
Account
Mrs. Lawrence crossing the road from her trailer to her parents' house saw a heavily-built, short, bipedal animal crossing beside her 10 or 15 yards away. It ignored her. Her son and her mother saw it on later occasions, and James Moorhatch found several possible and one definite 3-toed footprint in the area. A few general observations are included in this entry although not actually part of this incident, namely that heavy breathing was heard, that pet dogs were mysteriously killed, and that something pounded on the sides of the Lawrences' trailer home, denting it.
