Incident #992216
Moncrieve, Belknap Cty, New Hampshire
Aug 1991
Account
Photographing wildlife in a remote part of the Bill Wagner property where a beaver pond is linked to Black Creek, nearing dark, 16-year-old daughter heard rustling in brush and saw a 7 to 7.5-foot creature, est. 500 lbs., covered with shaggy brownish, black tinged fur, approach the creekbed, wade across in water chest high, climb out and walk off up a darkened ridge. (Time is given as 'nearing dark, about 8.30 p.m.', does not sound like enough light to be photographing, but in any event she was 'out of film'. Also, Moncrieve is not on a road map. Bigfoot on the East Coast says that Wagner reported the event to police at Sanbornton and to the Fish and Game Commission.)
