Incident #992211
Hollis, Hillsborough Cty, New Hampshire
May 1977
Account
Gerald, Aland and James St. Louis were sleeping in their camper truck near Hollis, at the site where a flea market was to be held the next day. About 10.30 p.m. the truck began to shake violently. Gerald opened the door and confronted an 8 to 9-foot creature covered with brown hair. It ran off, jumping a 4.5-foot fence, then stood watching him until he drove away. The boys did not see it. Stanley Evans said he and two friends had a similar experience either two nights earlier (Ramona) or the same night (Rutland Herald), not clear whether it was at the same place or at Milford. Also not clear which incident the tracks belong to, but they were apparently at the flea market site.
