Incident #992267
Richmondtown, Richmond Cty, New York
Jan 1975
Account
Mrs. D. Daly, on her way to work at 10.45 p.m., had to slam on the brakes on Richmond Road at the entrance to St. Andrew's Church parking lot and stopped 6 feet from a heavily-built creature, est. 5'9" tall, covered with long black hair. Next morning Herb Clement found two prints of a left foot in shallow snow. They showed only four toes, but the outside one was twice as wide as it was long, as two toes joined or their prints smeared together.
