Incident #992161
Kalmia, Harford Cty, Maryland
Jul 1988
Account
Willie Coleman and his brother in law, Sam Pounds, checked some woods on his property where extremely loud groaning could be heard. By flashlight they found an 8-foot, furry, white creature that "took off like a jet" on two legs. Coleman shot at it with a shotgun, without effect. There was a terrible musty odour. Willie Coleman told Mark Opsasnick that several neighbours had also seen the creature.
