Durham, Green Cty, New York

Account
Bruce Hallenbeck visited a chemist and family living at the far end of a dead end road in the woods in the Catskills, who said they had been visited by a black, hairy, bigfoot. It, or possibly they, always came at night. One morning they found a barrel of fish had been taken down to a nearby creek, and nearly all the fish were taken. They showed Bruce some 16-inch tracks.
