Incident #991820
Casar, Cleveland Cty, North Carolina
Dec 1978
Account
Sammy Price and wife Kay, just before Christmas, began hearing unearthly screams from the nearby woods. One night he saw something 6 or 7 feet high, estimated 250 to 300 pounds, apparently black all over, but could not see it well enough to say what it was. Next day Kay heard the scream in broad daylight, looked out from the house and saw the creature in a nearby field apparently munching on remnants of a soybean crop. She watched it eat and then cross the field and come by the house. The next night something broke the neck of a billygoat owned by Price's brother Forest.
